Conclusion
Of all of the scents on the market, none will work if they are not used correctly. Too many archery hunters think that a certain scent, just like a certain call, or setup will make things easy. That’s simply not the case.

The day's of dumping doe-in-estrus or other scent onto a paper towel and stuffing it into a film canister are over. Pre-packaged scent-soaked plastic "leaves" by Wildlife Research are some of the tidy products available to today’s archers.

Keeping your finger on the pulse of the deer herd will tell you when to use the correct scents. All of the pieces of the puzzle need to come together to make things happen. Pay attention to the stage deer are in and react to it. Throughout the season curiosity scents will work when employed correctly, and as the rut progresses dominant buck scent will give way to estrus scent.

So get out there and start to experiment. Don’t be afraid to use scents to try and outsmart a few old does for the freezer, and maybe just as the rut is warming up you’ll fool a trophy into thinking someone else has come in to take his ladies away.
