    Hey all, like a lot of posters i'm new to bow hunting. just wondering when I should try using scents like buck bomb? I hunt in southern WI, should i be using scents now or wait til the rut? is it better to use them during a morning hunt or in the afternoon?

    any other important information about scents would be greatly appreciated.

    thanks

    cvick is right now its all starting to heat up and I am starting to deploy my scents as well.. use them both afternoon and morning specifically to bring a deer that may not be in range to a closer spot where you can get a crack at him

    What kind of scents do you guys use? What about going the other way and using scent killers? Heard those were pretty popular but I don't know if I'm buying it, do they actually work?
