RE: Buck Lures for the Rut!
Unless you are hunting strictly trophy buck, I would refrain from using a territorial lure as they tend to scare away lesser bucks. I would go with some kind of doe estrous scent (Tinks #69) works good, or other scents from James Valley work very well. Leave a scent trail to your stand and put out a stationary scent, also hunt over any scrapes you find, refresh them periodically with an active scrape type scent. I hope this helps you.
