I have taken alot of deer with a bow, about 65 to be exact not counting the two deer I took so far this season. I have taken two in the last several years that were wall hangers, one of which was this year on opening day. This is what I have found over the past several years of hunting with scents. I used to use doe in heat scents ,years ago, but found that some mature does would back off an area if the caoght wind of it, smaller bucks would flock to it. I found that using Dom. Buck Urine, with a touch of tarsal gland scent would bring in the scrub bucks, the mid-range bucks and the Dom Bucks. Mature does do not take offence to the scent either, they will come right into it. The doe in heat theory is that it is a respect type situation for other does, that when a does is actually ready to breed, (24 hour period) she will wander off from the rest of the herd to be "found" by a willing buck, the other does will "respect" this leaving of the herd and "give her space". I think that the best bet for you is try it. I will either hunt with it or with nothing at all. Hope this helps ya.

Hunting ; an act of love for nature guided by the strongest spiritual forces.
