Do you think its late enough yet to start using sents ?

I have yet to see many bucks chasing does

what do u think ?

I would say you are 3-4 weeks early on the doe scents.
No serious rut activity here till mid-November.
Regards, Dave.

I wouldnt start till beginning of Nov.

Out here, I've always used November 5th as the starting point for rattling and it's usually good to about the 15th for the bigger bucks. Still effective for several days after that but usually only the smaller bucks are interested at that time - the mature, more dominant bucks are far more inclined to be f@@king rather than fighting by the time rut really kicks in.

It's usually around the 20th (and a bit earlier) that doe scents should really be effective, as before that, the boys are still trying to establish dominance. Once that's tapered off and the does start coming around, the bucks start sniffing and chasing. This is where your doe scent comes in.

Try buck scents with rattling - it's a rush not unlike calling coyotes or wolves! One more thing; if it's mule deer you're after, this all happens in the same fashion, only about two weeks earlier.

How's that 30-30 treating you, Tikka6xc? Great weapon for close in calling, I'd say!

check the regs,ontario does not allow the use of doe urine or any other parts of deer.they have to be synthetic based.

I figure another couple weeks should be the right time around here.

I was brushed up on the waterhole Friday evening, and although nothing came into view I could hear them doing a little sparring. I might go sit out tomorrow and see if I can rattle one in. That being said I think it might be a tad early for scents.

I have a tame whitetail buck that comes INTO the house daily for his treats...Squeze an empty water bottle quickly for a rattling sound, and he comes running, right now! Deerdr
