For those who use scents while hunting, what do you use and swear by? Something you know that was possitively responsible for luring in the deer. Whether it was a doe or buck, small or large, don't matter.
I have been using Code Blue "during the rutt" ever since it came out and have had pretty good luck getting deer to come in closer to my stand. Nothing that came charging in, but the deer where more comfortable and seemed much more relaxed. Picked up some "Deer Sense" by Deer Quest to try out. Those are the burning scents that smoke. Yesterday I tried a curiousity & a sex scent but didn't get any takers. Possibly nothing was down wind to catch a whiff of what I was offing. Waiting for the rutt to get going to try the Ruttrangous scent. During the rutt I will spray the bottom of my boots with the Buck Boom "doe in estrus" and shubs, branches and what not on my way to my stand along my trial. I had to cut a trial to my stand because the mountian laural is so think where I hunt. The deer liked that a lot and started using the trial, least point of resistance makes for easy browsing while still in the cover! Last year I shot a nice eight pointer that had his nose in the air sniffing when I took him. May have been the buck boom, may have not. Hard to know for sure unless he came in on my trail, which he didn't. He may have been trying to get down wind for a better whiff, who knows!
Just curious what you guy's like to use and why.
