I've been using Smokeys for a few years now. I use the preorbital gland lure on perimeter mock scrapes on overhaging limbs staring in mid to late August. I get a lot of bucks coming in to investigate and add there scent to the limb. Not many bucks scrape the ground that time of year, but I get a lot of photos of different bucks through the end of September. We have a good age structure of bucks in our area, so that may help also with increased "deer like" activities. Mike ps nice buck Bill! Ha!
