Default Feeling the heat - advice wanted

I know it's not very hard to take a doe, but with only about 5 or 6 hunts left for me this season and no meat in the freezer, I'm feeling the heat. Do the bleat cans call in does as well? Also, during the rut I've been using scent bombs for the big boys, and I was wondering if they will spook does. I know it's elementary, but I'm going to the farm tomorrow and I was looking for some last minute tips. I'd appreciate any input.

I wish I had 5 or 6 hunts left! Consider yourself lucky.

a fawn bleat may be more likely to call in does. try food scents instead of sex scents if you're concerned they are throwing off does.

Depends where you are hunting. Go up to some wilderness areas like the Adirondacks of NY or northern Maine and I can assure you that seeing even a doe won't be as simple as some think it should be.

Get scent free yourself. Hunt down or across wind on a feeding area and don't use scents or calls. The does will sometimes start to pick up on any calls or scents and be spooked especialy towards the end of the season.

Thanks for the advice, y'all. As always, scent free is the way to be, and I may try out a fawn bleat. Thanks again, good hunting this weekend.
