Default RE: doe in heat lure

I am not sure it really improves your odds at seeing or harvesting game, as an attractant by itself. However i do use it as a cover scent and conjunction with rattling/calling sessions. Before you get the idea to bath in your favorite doe in heat scent...wait. I simply place the scent around my location(stand or blind) in a shooting lane(Rifle usually 100 yards or so) and varying heights - 12 - 36" off the ground. The reason for this is to throw off the bucks nose if he happens to circle when I rattle...oh and they do circle down wind before coming in. However the single most important factor or key to success is a solid location or spot to begin with, placing scent anywhere will leave you dissapointed. On the flip side using it in a solid area may just make you think() it really works. Don' t believe all you read or hear, they aren' t magic but if used in conjunction with your scouting and other techs. they can buy you a shot. Which if this happens then they did their job!!!
