RE: Doe Estrus scents - use pre-rut or not?
I'll print this one more time for those that missed the study. In Bowhunter magazine, a study was printed on the effects of scents.
In several mock scrapes, they put four scents into and setup cameras to record the activity..
The 4 scents were, buck urine, doe urine, human urine and NEW CAR SMELL.
The results were as follows:
Bucks and does visited the scrapes with buck urine and the ones with human urine the most and of equal frequencies.
The scrapes with doe urine tied with the scrapes with NEW CAR SMELL and neither were frequented as much as buck urine and human urine....
Conclusion, although I've had limited success with doe estrous scents, save your money and rely on a combination buck grunt, doe bleat call.
