    My question is do you use doe estrus or not. I'm talking about tinks ect. I feel like I have better luck without it sometimes.

    I have never had a buck react to any estrus scent, so nope not for me.

    Last week I had a big boy downwind from my scent wick, and he ignored it totally. He was definitely looking for does too.

    I usually buy a bottle every year. I have never had any deer come in to it. I have caught a few on camera smelling one.

    If anything you could buy it a bottle really did smell like a doe in estrus ....you would have any buck that crossed the scent line following it.....just like the real thing.
    Since that doesn't happen too often with bottled junk I think is it as safe bet it doesn't smell much like a doe in estrus ....

    YES! At the right time, it works. I've had tons of buck cross a drag line, and turn a dime and follow it. One time I put tinks 69 on the back of my buck decoy. It confused the buck so much that he tried to mount the decoy.
