well, if you're thinking of using it, don't! twice now I have in prime buck country. Sat with great anticipation for 3 hours at least both times. $8.00 dollars a pop! saw nothing and i mean nothing. Hunt and learn that's me way of doing it. rifle just hours away in Va. God is Good.

Coulda been the wrong scent at the wrong time, or the wrong place. You may be in prime country, but if it isnt time it wont work. Maybe they were in a different part of the property that day. Maybe they smelled it and came in and then went down wind to get a better wiff and smelled you. You would be amazed at how many deer come in and skirt around you and not be seen. Good luck.

I also tried it two different times with nothing at all to show for it. The second time only about half came out and then it just stopped. For the next two hours every five minutes or so , I heard the can fizzle a little bit. I have talked to people who seemed to have great success but it seemed like a waste of money to me.

If it is a urine based scent, it doesnt get better with age. As soon as you break the factory seal, the urea starts turning to ammonia and loses it attracting qualities. I get rid of opened bottles of urine at the end of every season, unopened bottles go in the fridge to help keep them fresh until next season. You want to keep the urine based scents in a cool, dark place to help keep it as fresh as possible before, during and after season. That is why you see urines in dark bottles.

Make sure you are 100% about something before saying it.... We didnt start hunting yesterday.

Using an estrus doe urine during a time when does are not normally in estrous will hurt you more than help you. Deer aren't stupid, especially older bucks. I guarentee you that a mature buck will head for another county if he smells an estrus scent prior to the rut or long after the rut. You might get a yearling buck to check it out but I wouldn't put money on it. I'm with Doc. At least have an idea of what you're talking about before you give advice.
