First estrus drag of the season

About 5 years ago I laid a scent drag to my stand.  About 1.5 hours after sunrise I watched a nice buck working his way down the hill at about 80 yards out.  He hit my scent trail and started to track me back to the truck.  After that I wondered how many bucks I've missed because of that.  I have never done it since.

I've never started at the truck. Pick a good intersection along your approach.

To the OP, perfect time to start!

I was planning on trying tomorrow morning as well. Normally it would be a little soon, but the rutting moon came early this year and I think this would be a good time to try it out. Definitely have seen bucks chasing already

. So I did both this morning and this afternoon, I watched the 6pt that I missed today walk right over my scent trail and completely ignore it. He actually came I. Over an hour before the does did
