Scents - Buck or Doe?

Which scent do you find works the best during and after the rut? Dominant Buck or Doe?

Just curious. I've never used cover / attractant scents before.

Doe scent...

I have bought both scents. I figured out what doe scent does, but how does the dominant buck scent work?

The buck scent will make a buck think another buck is trying to get in on some of his "action."

I have used onyl doe scent and it works great. I see small bucks and I see large bucks.

I always try during the rut to use a doe scent as my primary scent. BUTTTTTT!!
Although the doe scent is the most attractive to any buck, and I have to
resay "Any Buck" , what you want is to draw the "Dominant" buck! To do this,
you need to use a buck in rut scent and better with a Buck decoy to drive the
local buck out of his lair because he thinks someone else is taking "His" girls.

See I would do that but where I hunt most of the deer that I see are just deer that pass through. I don't hunt near a bedding area or a good feeding area.
