    So I had a great sit on a new property. Saw a mature buck trailing 2 does this morning. I plan on moving in on this buck tonight. My question is this...being that the buck was trailing, is it too early for estrous?

    If you have does in a spot drawing the bucks you might want to leave the scent alone. 1 no buck is going to leave a doe to go smell bottle pee 2 the does may avoid the area you put scent in.

    I don't think there is ever a good time to use estrose scent.

    Stay as scent free as possible, setup outside the bedroom, wind in your favor, and hope one of the does leads him by your stand.
