I hear some say that you never want to use estrous til first week of Nov but I can't help but wonder... does a buck look at his calendar if it's mid Oct and say to himself... hmmm it's a month early OR does he say it smell like it and comes in to check it out. I think if you hung the real stuff, fresh from a deer farm not some bottled up from Gander from who knows when a mature buck if he whiffed it would come in on a string. Your thoughts?

Now sure is the time to start using good scents but make sure you get it from a farm that gets vaginal secretion when collecting scent. None of that and you dont get the pheromones and without them a mature buck knows that doe is not ready to breed. You will still get younger bucks to go ape $hit but the mature bucks need the real stuff to respond.

I've had plenty of older doe over the years stir the woods up when they were close to coming into hest last week of october. Plus or minus a few days if used it might just catch the nose of a horny buck. I've used it last week in oct and shot buck
