I mentioned in my first post, that you can use doe or buck scents, and they can help! But over the last few years, I have done as oldelkhunter, I don't actually remember the last time I used any scents. I just go as scent-free as possible. Also, as oldelkhunter said, good scent free boots are priceless! I've watched deer cross my trail several times and they never bust me!

Thats about it! Some people like to hunt scrapes, others don't! I am actually hunting an area, not just one or two scrapes! If you find a small area, with many scrapes, you've found a hot area, and if you hunt it right you are going to see bucks!

Again, it can't be said enough, watch the wind! Deer are always using their sniffers, and much more so when they are checking their scrapes or trailing a doe!
Big Boy has only one thing on his mind, but if he wiffs you, instead of his girl friend, he will come to his senses, and vacate the premises in a hurry! good luck!
