Question about doe in heat

[fearthebeard]

Do does in heat travel alone ?

[wooly]

No, they have bucks behind them, make no mistake about it.

[fearthebeard]

Is the buck always right behind or could it take till dusk

[MACHINIST]

could be a long time,just think when you use a drag rag with estrous scent how late they can come in.Because the rut is winding down he may be playing it a little safe also.Is your scent going the way the does came from?Hang in there it could be your best night

[wooly]

If a doe is actually "hot" she may leave a scent and pheromone trail that could be followed by bucks for several hours afterwards.

That's information I gather only from watching hot does get chased by me and what happens after that.

To see a lone doe roll by doesn't really tell you much, but next time you see her she may have a conga line of bucks on her tail.

My scent is blowing opposite of where she came

Do they leak anything? Came across some egg shaped melted snow spots (deer beds) last weekend and one of them had an orangish tint in the snow next to it.

orange, brown could be urine especially near the bed
