Can we please chat about scents?
« on: Jul 07, 2013, 06:38:16 PM »
Which scents have you had success with and what was your productive technique?   I have had luck with Code Blue estrous gel.  I put it on the evergreen trees chest high with no wick.  The bucks sometimes come to this.

I have had luck spraying doe in estrus to the bottom of my boot before walking into my stand, had a couple small bucks follow my tracks in with there head to the ground.

I used Wyoming county whitetail. It's a local place in NY I use when I lived there.   Iv had much better luck calling bucks in grunting and rattling then using sents. But that might just be me.

I have been cutting the tarsals out of the does i shoot.  When i hunt I drag em' and then hanging about chest high.  I'll usually stick them back in the freezer when I'm done so i get a few uses out of them.  Nothing better than the real thing.

I have luck with Tinks 69, I put it on a few cotton balls and place them in some of the trees where I hunt.  It seems to work.

Taken a lot of deer and have bit on a lot of products, the biggest disappointment's and the waste of most money came from scents. Grunts and Can Calls put 40% of the meat on the pole, letting em come down the trails do the rest.
I remember every day i hunt or fish. The rest of the days I...uh...umm.. musta done something else.

Seems to be hit or miss with scents. I've had a few does come in to tinks 69 after I've used a drag. I've watched them follow my exact path right up to where I hung it. The biggest draw I've seen is with scent drippers. You can pick up the combo at walmart or any sport store. Golden estrous comes with it. I like to put my trail camera up right where I made a mock scrape with the dripper. I've gotten some pretty cool pics doing this.

X2    I once put some on a bandana tied around my boot and killed a buck with his nose to the ground following in my footsteps.  ;D
It'll chew...
