Does it make sense to use scents when its cold out?

[goosifer]

All other things being equal, if the temperature is below freezing, or even say below 20 degrees, does it make sense to use scents like natural doe in heat urine? Within an hour a so it will be a pee-sicle, and once frozen, won't it's ability to emit scent, and or the scent's ability to transmit in the wind, be significantly impaired? I'm planning on not bothering to use any tomorrow given the low temps, but just wanted to make sure my reasoning was sound. Thoughts?

I would imagine if it freezes, right? I sprayed buck bomb this morning mostly to help cover my scent. Didn't see anything...

I read some where that the colder it gets the less scent travels in the dry air.

they say gel scents hold better but not so sure

The deer will still smell it, frozen or not.

I am not sure what temp. urine freezes at....urine is salty, but I am sure like all liquids it evaporates more slowly in cold temps. I tend to use urine more along trails I am watching, to catch a bucks attention as he is passing through to offer a better shot. It worked to a T sunday. A little spray of Tinks #9 along a trail, the buck was cruising along and would probably have only offered a shot at a trot, but slowed right down to check it out. Tag filled.

I’m trying Tinks 69 this year. I think I might try Doe-P next year. I think it’s hard to say how long it lasts. When I spray the 69 I smell it for a while. No telling how long after I can’t smell it a deer can still smell it.
