Halloween Buck!

[trex]

Went out behind the office this afternoon. Got into the tree around 3 hoping to catch one creeping around early being the rut and all. No dice. Did see two does around 5:15 or so. Momma got a wiff of the Buck bomb I had set off and gave one good snort. I've been against using any type of tarsal/estrous...etc scent for a while. Every now and then I decide to give it a shot. I've heard that a doe will head away from another doe in heat alot of times. That would make sense about this one tonight. I myself would rather have the scent of a real deer mozying by my stand than take the chance of putting some type of bottled stuff out. Tonight just reinforced that. Maybe I didn't miss out on anything, but just maybe I did. I wont be trying anything else this year. How about everyone else? What are your experiences?
