What works

Is there a such thing as a Doe attractant? Can you overdue it with doe urine and other related Scents. Which noise makers should I buy. I honestly do not know one from the other....

 

I use a grunt call but yes it can be over used, As far as scents I believe in all natural I use no scents unless I have a decoy out and then I will use buck in rut.Walt

 

A big pile of corn. (joking)

 

I hunt in Texas

it's allowed....

 

i have used all the scents, buck and doe urine, doe estrus, and a attractant scent. depending on the time of year( what the deer where you hunt are doing) they can be useful. i use doe or buck urine early season and late, pre-rut and during the rut i usually put out estrus sent, i don't use attractant scents too often. i haven't seen many deer come right up to the scents i put out, but i believe that it puts them at ease and gives them something else to smell besides me. had doe in estrus out this year when i shot my buck.
as suggested above hunting over bait ( food, like corn or other sold products ) if it's legal where you hunt can be effective, but it's not legal where i hunt, so i don't have experience with it personally. it does seem to work for many though, those i talk with and what i've seen on hunting shows and dvd's.
as far as calls..... this is a must. i never go into the woods without my calls... ever. get yourself a good grunt call, and an estrus bleat. some callls have the ability to make both sounds which can be effective. you can also buy the "can", you put your finger over the hole and tip to imitate the sound of a doe bleat or a doe ready to breed, depending on which one you buy, i have both. a rattle bag or set of horns can be effective also.
i would try to get a grunt tube, and the can for sure. i called in most of the deer i saw this season. try to watch a video on calling deer so you know what sounds to make at a particular time of the season. hope this helps you some and good luck

 

Here in Arkansas it's allowed too. I rarely see deer eat it in day time hours. Most pictures are taken of them at night eating it. I've watched them walk right by it and step over it in the day.
