I am not a big proponent of commercial scent stuff though I do use the scent free soaps. I have had, at best, marginal response by bucks to grunt or bleat calls, and seldom use them at all. The only attractant that I suggest because of my personal observations is using a drag rag soaked with urine I collect from deer I (or others) have killed, and using oily tarsals I remove from bucks to rub saplings near where I am set up. I too agree with others .... if you can regularly locate does, once they start coming into estrus, the chances of a decent buck showing up to check them out imporves. Being able to locate bedding areas and setting up between that area and food works great. Problem down here in SE Alabama where I hunt is that deer have almost unlimited areas in which to bed and food is everywhere ... browse, acorns, food plots, etc. So have to stay on top of what food is "hot". Makes it fun for sure. Good luck.
