Jason, what is your experience using scents? I hung a scent dripper this weekend thatI bought last year. Iput some fresh Active Scrape (buck urine and doe in estrus urine) over a mock scrape andI made in an area that I saw bucks last year. I made a series of scrapes and some light rubs on some maple saplings.

I had a buck approach the dripper last but it was too dark yet to shoot (pretty sure it was a buck the way he walked and thought he rubbed the tree). This was during November shotgun season though. Not sure about using scents this early but we'll see.

Anywhoo, also don't want you guys to think I'm a jerk about setting up 100 yards from my neighbor's property line. I'm really pretty respectful and considerate about it. Most of the deer I've seen head down the trails away from that line and I've gotten permission from all of my neighbors for their woods on the other side of our property.

The neighbor usually puts his tripod stand up about 50 yards away from our property line during shotgun season. He's shot a nice buck (8 point or better) every year for the past five years on his land and he is a farmer that has thousands of acres of prime whitetail habitat. Combine this with the fact that I approached him to have a civil discussion about when and where I'd be hunting so we could both be safe and not goof one another up and that one of the reasons I thought about bowhunting was that we could both be in the woods at times. So I'm not sure why he was giving me the evil eye about moving my ladder stand other than it was about 20 yards off a prime travel area.
