I live in Ohio and was planing on using a doe decoy  (that has been used as everything from Rudolph to a hot doe)
I havent used it much just due to transporting it. But now with a recent home purchase I just have to walk thru the back yard  to my stand in the woods.
I was wondering when the best time to use a doe?
I was thinking of taking Halloween week off as vac.

Peak rut with code blue.

From holloween    till Nov 15(prerutt/ rut) and use what ever hot doe scent you trust,& if you want Big    boys also some buck scent near by with grunting &/or raddleing antlers
