Several years ago I was hunting with a friend and he gave me one of those artificial doe in heat wafers. He told me to go ahead and use it, but to bring it back after we hunted.
I had this damn thing in my pocket, walking back to the truck, in the dark. I could see a bunch of deer out in the field I was walking next to and one came running towards me. Turns out it was a buck wanting to get a little. It got about 15 feet from me and I was scared shitless. All I could see was basically an outline of the deer jumping back and forth grunting and stamping it's feet.
I was hunting with a bow and there's no way I could have hit it, so I started yelling and jumping around myself. It worked, the buck eventually ran away. But, you'll never catch me walking around in the dark with doe-in-heat in my pocket again.
