The buck scents may be part of your problem...
Try it without the buck scents for a while.
The dominant buck scents scare bucks off in early rut season. When the rut is heavy on, and they have set up their areas, then they know where each others areas are located and only the very strong dominant buck will dare to cross that line.
A lot of big trophy hunters use dominant buck.
Just a thought....Nothing is ever written in stone....Nature has a way of doing her own thing.
