Had this guy come up and get directly under me tonight. I love my home made scent killer spray. He had no idea I had just climbed this tree. I always spray down my tree steps and incoming path when entering a stand.

I no longer have a buck tag so I didn't care if the camera flash scared him off or not. He did notice the red light when the camera was focusing on him and he looked up. He didn't seem to mind it or pay any attention to the flash.
COOL!! :thumbsup:
AWESOME PICS!!!
Hi Kennym, great pics! Do you mind sharing the recepie of youre scent killer spray. getting that close of a deer is always a great thrill.
oops! sorry i meant kentuckytj
very cool!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Aaah Yeah!
Don't mind at all Guy. I spray everything I take in with me especially my knee high rubber boots. Here it is. It's cheap and it makes a lot.
Ingredients:
16 oz. (2 cups) hydrogen peroxide, 3% solution (normal type found in drug stores)
16 oz. (2 cups) distilled water
1/4 cup baking soda
1 oz. unscented shampoo
Note: remember 32 oz. = 1 quart; expand ingredient amounts proportionately for larger amount of end product.
Directions:
(1) Mix ingredients in large bowl so baking soda dissolves (water, then peroxide, then baking soda, then soap).
(2) Pour into clean 1 gal. plastic milk jug (easily found in most homes). Note: do not shake!
(3) Let sit at moderate temperature for several days until chemical reaction settles down. Note: do not leave in tightly sealed container (use milk jug with snap-on cap)!
(4) Pour prepared mixture into spray bottle(s) of your choosing.
A few things to ponder on this stuff.
Make sure spray bottles are not clear or keep them out of sunlight.
Sunlight will break down the peroxide into water. The peroxide is in this solution to kill and prevent bacteria that creates odor.
The baking soda traps and absorbs odor molecules.
The unscented soap is a binding agent that makes the solution stick to what you spray in on.
Thanks for the recipe and great pics!
very neat pics
Very cool!

TJ, Thanks for sharing the info on the scent killer I'm gonna make some up for this upcoming weekend. Great pics also. Joe
Yep, I will make some up tonight. Thanks for sharing the recipe, and the cool pics!
Awesome pix.
I bet that buck has nightmares, and his neck is sore from looking up.
The squirrel knows how much arrows cost.
The buck photos got a "WOW" from everyone here.
Thanks.
cool pics,thanks.
Great stuff! :thumbsup:
Great pics TJ. But one of your comments is troubling me. The one about not having a buck tag left! Maybe I missed it, but where is the pics and story of the one you shot? Don't be holding out on us now.
Oh I'm not Mike, I came in the house that September night/morning with blood on my hands and couldn't share it fast enough with you guys. Here's the link to the hero shots. I shot this one the second evening of our Kentucky season on September 6th so now I'm destined to taking them with my camera (not complaining).

The stuff works! I picked up this recipe about 9 years ago off of Bowsite from a guy that swore he had just left one of the companies that produced "scent kill" spray and said this was the recipe they marketed. TJ and I have been hooked on it since. Easy and inexpensive, which is right in line w/ severity of TJ's cheapness.
If you don't believe and want to put this stuff thru the test spray down your dog that has been in a frey w/ a skunk. It will remove the smell w/out any problems. I've done this more times than I'd like, but my family would be heartbroken if the Shorthair couldn't sleep in the house at night... :banghead:
Thanks for the trick lowe.We dont have a dog right now but were waiting for one next spring,it'll be a puppy french spaniel (good family dog) that will later point to me the game bird I'll have to it with my judo!! If one day a skunk shoot her stuff at my dog it'll be useful! Thanks again.
Just askin,,,how did you come up with the recipe? was it just common sense ( this will deodorize and this will absorb odor) sounds like youve done good, if the deer didnt smell you even that close,and your success is always that good, way to go, good thankin, it's awful good of you to share this with everybody. I mite try this, aint got nothin to lose.
SORRY, just noticed the rest of the thread. I bet the deers buddies all talk about him behind his back, "Did ya hear about Bucky? No what is it? He said he saw aliens in the woods the other night, and now he keeps watchin the night sky. Poor bucky,,,he's lost it aint he.
Great pics TJ!! Thanks for sharin. I'll have to try the recipe on elk.
Thanks guys. Rut won't be long around these parts.
