When do you start using estrus scents?
Around what time of the year do you start using estrus scents? Any special tactics you use when using estrus scents?

From past experience, I know that if you use them now, does will flee from the scent.

I'd wait until I knew that the rut was going.

A couple years ago my buddy put some scent on a low tree branch on opener and shot a real nice 11 pointer who was checking it out. Not sure if it was a fluke or what but the buck was definitely interested in it.

in the past I have used it during the rifle season and had no sucsess. I just save my money and just hunt the wind. I might be missing out but I am also saving money every year.  :nerd:

I have had really good luck with estrus during rut.  I tie a sock with estrus on it to  a short rope then drag it behind me on my way to my stand i walk the path i want the deer to walk out to and in front of my stand then i leave it sit were i want the buck to stop. :green archer:

Everything I've read about the non frozen estrus scents says they are worthless.
