    In my area I am probably waiting a couple more weeks to switch over. I would like to see a few more fields get taken out first so the deer actually come back to the timber.

    Fields are mowed here. I dont think it will hurt to much to switch them.

    This. From what I understand, the earliest a doe will come into estrus is around the 18th of october, and only a very small percentage of does will go into estrus at this time.

    I would wait at least a couple more weeks. You're more likely to run em off by putting a smell out there that shouldn't be there than to draw em in

    I'm thinking of putting buck urine in my dripper this weekend then switching over to estrus in a about 2 weeks. Right now it just has "Golden Scrape" in it.
