[QUOTE="Yoby, post: 236076, member: 631"] I have used many scents over the years with limited success. As has been indicated before, the best instances have been on a drag. From what I have found one needs to start the drag in a place that isn't "random". Getting out of the truck and starting your drag is a bad thing as depending on how the deer comes to the trail they may back track to your vehicle. The other thing is to walk past your stand not go directly to it. Ideally you walk about 20 yards upwind past your stand, pull the drag off and hang it in a tree. Most instructions have indicated 6ft, but I have found 3-4 ft is about right since I don't recall a does ass being 6ft in the air. The other issue is doing the drag in the morning. I can't count how many times I have done the drag in the morning and before shooting hrs here something follow up the trail right to where the drag was hung only to walk off before shooting light. The last scents I have used (and still use) are Smokeys. I have been using their Pre-Orbital Gland lure on a tree limb I have stuck in the ground and drip it on the main trunk. Have used it on a rub/scrape line with great success. This year I have picked up their doe in heat scent and will be finding out how that works this weekend. [/QUOTE]
