    I am excited to say that I got my first bow deer ever last week Wednesday!! Nothing to brag about, he was no monster- 2.5 year old 8 pointer but being my first ever I am very proud!!

    My buck came in pretty hot and heavy on the trail that goes under my stand. Is it possible that he came in on the Estrus drag i used/applied on Monday afternoon (I got my buck on Wednsday at 6:30am)? There was no rain and the weather was calm- little wind. For what its worth I used Code Blue Estrus Drag. No other pictures of deer on my trail camera except for him right before I got him.

    I personally didnt think a scent would ever last that long.

    Just trying to keep tabs on what works and what doesnt.

    Thanks all

    Jeremy

    Congrats! A first deer with a bow is always a special one, and an 8 pointer to boot. Well done!

    Congrats on the buck, I think the scent would be gone after a few days.

    I would agree the scent is likely gone, the buck was just probably using your trail. The trail I made to one of my stands has become a deer path now. They don't like walking through branches and brush any more than we do.


    Nice deer
