So I bought some scents on clearance

[Moving2thecountry]

I bought some scents on clearance, marked way down, making sure the expiration date was in 2010 or 2011.

I would like to know which if any would work in Northern Minnesota this late in the year (or should I save them all for next year?)

I have:
1.  #1 Select Estrus
2.  Active Scrape
3.  Excite (Thick like Honey) doe urine with Estrus
4.  Moon Fire (says it's effective pre-rut through the rut)
5.  Buck Nip (Curiosity scent)

I also bought some boot scent pads.

I don't want to scare the deer off with the scents.  Has anybody had any experience using scents this time of year?

Note, I can still take a buck legally yet.

well active scrape is what i use in my dripper that i hang over my mock scrapes(pre-rut) so that one should be ruled out. this late in the year nothing is really going to work, there are a few does that will recycle into there estrus again and this is when the Big Boys mate them, but mainly you need to hunt travel routes that go from bedding areas to food areas, maybe try something on the trail to get them to stop long enough for a shot otherwise i wouldnt even bother with scents now.
