I always try during the rut to use a doe scent as my primary scent. BUTTTTTT!!
Although the doe scent is the most attractive to any buck, and I have to
resay "Any Buck" , what you want is to draw the "Dominant" buck! To do this,
you need to use a buck in rut scent and better with a Buck decoy to drive the
local buck out of his lair because he thinks someone else is taking "His" girls.
