RE: looking for advice on scents and calling
The best thing I have found that works in my area is mixing the bleat, grunt, and rattling. The CAN is what I use for my doe bleat. I will then do a couple of grunts then rattle a little. If you work them together it sounds natural. With calling deer almost anything will work it just depends on the deers mood. My best results have been with the Earth waffers and coon urine. Pin on the scent waffers and spray coon urine on your boots, at the base of your tree and when in your tree stand spray some coon urine on the limbs around you. I have been blessed with seeing many deer out of my tree stand when most other people have not seen a deer.
