ddeblance, when you say you are lubing the cam are you just placing some light oil drops on it (does it have the exposed hole?)

Either way that is only a temporary fix. You need to have the axles removed; clean the axle, limb holes, hole inside the cam and then lube the axle with a white lithium grease (or something else with substance) at least that's what I watched a pro shop do to my squeaky bow.
Since then I've done this myself a time or two and it has worked to keep the shaft & axel lubed. BTW a pro shop should do this for cheap- back then I paid under $10.00

I'd just hate to see you loose a shot at a huge buck like I did[:'(]. I was trying to draw slowly (stand too exposed) and every time I'd get it a 3rd of the way back he'd jerk his head and stare my way, lookingfor the cause of the noise. Fourth time he had enough and left.

Scents? like I said before this is my 1st year on this lease, but one of the lease members & friend has hunted the area a lot (just sold ranch up the road) and he said as a cover scent to break some cedar and rub it around on ya before you head out. Then break a branch or two when you get on stand I know it is very pungent from clearing shooting lanes last week. He says he has had deer all around him from doing this.

Calls, a can call and a grunt tube never hurt. If I get boardI hit each about every 30-45 minutes. I can't say it has ever done much for me though. Gives me something to do I guess[8D].

Scents- I'm a sucker for tinks -69. But I try to hold off any tricks or gimmicks until the rut is near.
