etrous scent for the whitetails in the morning?
« on: November 29, 2013, 04:27:53 PM »
i have been using the wicks n a drag n had some smaller bucks come sniffin around last week.
just saw the buck tonight that i want to put an arrow through.
just like the old timers said,the snow brought him out.
i am a green horn to this whitetail hunting.everything i read says these suckers are done rutting.will the estrous scent not be a good idea in the mornin?

when it comes to up close and personal with white tails ,and for bow hunting,you need to clean ,clean , clean,and use some kind of masking,just tonight I had the 4x5 I'm after come in got to dark coudnt make out the shot,so I passed I got a lot of time still,but he didn't get to the feed block he winded me and the breeze wasn't much In his favor but he finally made me,i say if they make it try it with moderation,you don't want to scare them off with it but masking some is pretty much needed,at least I think,but I don't want to start anything (again !)and I believe this for any time of season but that's just me!!!my clothes are in the washer right NOW! with that so called special soap ? and I'm not kidding,and I'm picking up some of that boot stuff tomorrow too !,still not kidding,anyway good luck out there,and stay clean and no breaking sweat on your way in !! :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

seems legit.
as stated im new to these woods.i have to work on my personal trial and error,and advice from those that have more time in than myself.
i stay on the ground for my hunts so that seems to complicate things at times.
last year i killed a little guy at 8 yards working the wind.
this year i have had what i consider desirable results with scent eliminators.i get closer to older deer pretty regularly when i have followed a strict routine before my hunts.
the estrous doe pee is new to me.as i understand things the bucks will only react to it during rut.last week i had bucks following my drag and coming to my wicks to sniff em up.i just dont know if i am too late in the game now.
tonight when i found my buck he had another deer with him.i could not see if it was a doe or not so i do not know what to take of it.
i think i will give it another shot in the morning unless i can find some compelling evidence to sway me to the idea that they are no longer rutting in 124

just some more info ,isat for two hours yesterday,and finally decided to give a couple bleets,all of a sudden I had deer coming in at all angles no big bucks but the does and spike came crunching in,as I said already yesterday they all winded me,well I'm going to the seahawks game then Tuesday ,after my clothes dry out in the barn ,ill be back at it Tuesday,oh ya with that boot stuff !!as for the newly mentioned product ,ill just stick to a good shower ,but good thinking,maybe try to get fish and feathers to sponsor it for deerpopulation control :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
