Estrous scent Oct. 15 in NoVA?
Well, I haven't seen squat this season so far. Very little deer movement from what I can see and what I read on this forum from others in VA. I think some deer may have drowned in all this rain we've been having.
I am thinking about using some estrous scent tomorrow in the morning.
From what I can tell it is not uncommon for the rut to start around Oct 22 in VA. So it would only be seven days early if I used it tomorrow. Maybe I can trick a buck or two. I know it can scare off other does, but I'm hunting primarily for antlers anyway so I'm not concerned about that.
Thoughts?
