had a nice 8 pt sniff around my tinks bottle a few years back before meeting my braodhead..actually my first bow buck..well buck in general.....had a doe bed down 40 yards from my stand a little before dark last night.....as dark approached i figured..what the hell and let a doe estrious bleet out...she got up and went back in the direction she came from..must have just not made her too happy...had one do that to me on friday evening as well...had a nice buck running around the bean field behind me right before dark...i let out the bleet and had a doe that was in the field take off into the woods and down the waterway.....so i can see your views on the retreating from estrious does if they are not in heat.
