Thinking about using some doe estrus scent, we never have used any kind of scent attractant before, thoughts :dunno:

Post by: huntnnw on October 27, 2013, 09:25:03 PM: if your not using scents on scrapes or mock scrapes your missing out or limiting yourself. They work! maybe certain scents dont, but there is some quality stuff out there
