Yesterday evening I was hunting, going after the big buck I have been battling with. I put out some scent wicks. The problem I think I have was with the scent wicks but I didn't realize it until after the hunt. I used these scent wicks when the rut was in full swing. I keep them in a plastic zip lock baggie. So, the last time I used them was about a month ago. I had a doe coming in down wind from the scent wicks. When she was 20 yards away from the wicks she abruptly stopped and started stomping. I think she smelled those wicks, which are probably rotten smelling, which unfortunately, before hand I didn't think about that and she and another doe, finally 10 minutes later started blowing then walked off. I think it was the bad smelling scent wicks that blew it. What do you all think?
