Do you guys buy fresh Deer scent every year or do you use last years cans or bottles?

Never could make up my mind, whether they work or don't...
Kinda like,
Guess it couldn't hurt? If I have a bottle, I might use it, no matter how old.
Think I'm taking a lid

More often than not, I don't use them, because I have no real confidence in them. However, I do play around with them sometimes. If I have some left over from the previous year, I will use it.

Only deer scent I use is Evercalm. Back when I was young I tried different "lures" but rarely got any "reponse".
But I've had deer walk up to my tripod and sniff the Evercalm I smeared on the leg and then go back to eating acorns down wind.
I have confidence in it and I think like most things that is key.

I only use a little 'Hot Doe' scent when I'm trying to be the first hot doe in the area when the bucks are in the mood and the does still are not ready. I use the bottle up in a few hunts. I guess it wouldn't hunt to use old scent as even real deer smells get old with time.

I have had very good luck with Mrs. Doe pee have had multiple bucks track it past my location. Has been the only scent i have had any deer react to. They claim you can freeze it and use it the following season. I have had best results using it right away but it has worked the following season.

I usually bought it in a smaller bottle keep it refrigerated and didnt have much if any left for the next season. If i did i would freeze and use that early in the season. Once the bucks antlers are hard and velvet shed they are ready. I also do my drags in reverse. Once i started doing that i saw more success.

Deer pee everywheres I don't think putting out more of it is going to make any difference to the deer if so bucks would be running around checking out every spot , doesnt happen . Last fall I put James Valley scent out there was snow on the ground and the rut was on not one track in the snow came over to it and I watched bucks walk right down wind of it from about 20 feet and they didn't even look in that direction . The only lures I have had work were glandular types . I once took the full bladder out of a doe that we had just seen breeding with a buck latter pouring the urine from it around my stand ,the deer didn't pay any attention to it !

Everything around here is synthetic now with CWD in our state, they have outlawed actual live deer scents so who knows what is in those ? Or even if they go bad
( were they ever good ?) with time
