Id hunt a rub or scrape line. May not be the buck that made it but other bucks check rubs and scrapes. I think this weekend the action will pick up a bit. And dont underestimate hunting from 10-2. When alot of hunters are coming out of the woods sometimes thats the best time to be in your stand.

nobody will ever agree on when it'll start pre-season. but when it's here, we all know. Probably seeing some decent pre-rut and weather pattern change activity.

I say use the doe estrous. Last year I had the little ones fired up early with the scent drag. I used it only a few times to "test it out", and every time I used it I had a buck come in with his nose to the ground. Little ones but hey, seein a buck is seein a buck.

very true considering i havint harvested a buck yet i have a whole corn plot to hunt with my dad and im trying to find out who the buck is in that area the runs it so to speak a moth ago i had a lot of pics of differnt spikes and 4 pointers even a 6 and a 8 havint seen a buck who seemed to make the others shy away

I would drag that thing right down the highline, then duck into the woods and drag it to my stand. Once there, hang it on a limb to let the breeze blow it around real good. Worked every time. I even went off the beaten path, zig-zagged through the briers trying to find my stand. He followed that trail all the way in.

Haha hey, do what you gotta do. I have dropped it anywhere from 200-500 yrds from my stand. Maybe furthe. I have no idea when those bucks picked up the scent, but they could have been trailing it from the point I dropped it. I figure if they cross it and like it, they might follow it.
