    When do you start using doe estrous scent? I know some people have said they have seen deer chasing, but does that mean it is time to bring out the doe-in-heat? Also do scents go bad after a year of sitting in the basement? I have a bottle of doe estrous from last year, but it was never opened. Thanks

    you could start using it as soon as the first full week of November around here. If your bottle is unopened and didn't get too warm, it will be just as good as before. Estrus is a funny thing some days it will pull them in on a string, others it will spook the heck out of them.
