First some background...
Ive been pondering events that have transpired in my early days of archery season. Typically we all hear that we shouldnt use estrous scents early in the season. Well, in my younger days, before archery i was out for the squirrel opener. I just happened to have some estrous scent from the previous year in my coat(gel form). I squirted some on the log which i was sitting and not 30 minutes later in walked a GIANT 8pt. Fast-forward two years and in the same location on a day which it was almost 90, early season i pulled the same trick with a liquid scent. I got discouraged by the bugs and quickly concluded i was wasting my time. As i brought my climber down a buck caught my eye, another monster and i was only 5ft off the ground, he busted me before i ever pulled off the shot.
I plan to try this again this year and im inviting anyone who wishes to join in to please do so.
Heres how this will work, to be included you must try this at least one morning, or evening from Oct 11->Oct 18(sat->sat). Chose your favorite estrous scent and either create a drag or place wicks/bombs in your hunting area containing your estrous scent. If youre skeptical about doing this at one of your stand sites, just move on. Theres no place in this for fear of blowing it. Hunt your stand as you normally would with the estrous scent and report your findings. Did the buck you dreamed of show up? Smaller bucks? How did doe's react? And a final analysis of what you did.
An example would look like.
Date: Oct 11
Terrain: Thicket
Deer Sighted : 3?
Scent Used: Code Blue/Tinks/Docs (whatever)
Scent Dispersal: Dragged in and then hung OR put in a scrape... you get the picture
Notes:
Doe's that blew hard and immediately exited the area. Small bucks appeared at random then the big boy showed up.

AGAIN... please only try this if youre not concerned about possibly ruining a spot. My findings tell me this works and I just read an article that confirmed whats been rolling through my mind for almost a week. I plan to try it more then once, I will report back. Join in if you wish.
Thanks,
Jeremy
