Title: deer scents
Post by: kill shot on November 07, 2012, 12:10:00 PM
Do any of you have any luck with deer scents? If so, what kind? I drank 3 bottles of the stuff the other day and didn't see nothin.

I have had better luck with Buckrut scents than Doe in heat scents. I think Bucks do not like the idea of another Buck in his home range?

I have also seen both Doe and Bucks respond well to human urine.  :readit:    :saywhat:    :thumbsup:

No really, I tried many kinds of scents. Can't say they work. Never had bad luck such as spooking deer. I tried the super expensive stuff with no luck at all.

On a whim I used Buck Bomb to create a scent trail the other day. I never used scents before but after using it i had a mature 8 pointer come right under my stand. Unfortunately I couldn't get a shot but I now have faith in using doe in heat scents.

:knothead:   In all seriousness though, I use Mrs. Doe Pee, made right here in Iowa using estrous doe urine, works pretty well for me but unfortunately it is a little on the pricey side. I bought one bottle from one of the local archery shops for $27.99 ($17.99 cheaper than Scheels!)

Ha Ha Ha! on the other side,I use hock pads from other dear kills(or I take them off fresh road kills) and make a drag line and just drag them in and hang up in a tree.I keep them separate(not mixing two different deer pads) in plastic bags and freeze them when I am not using them.

I just mix it in my coffee during deer season... Don't have near the wang that way!   :D  
I do use regular doe urine as a cover scent on occasion.

Lots of folks here in Texas are raving about "Franks, doe in heat urine". It's like 10.95 for 2fluid ozs.

I have had some success with scent wafers and buck bombs, but can't say any really seemed in a rush to check them out.

I have been putting the new solid deodorant type scents under my arms here lately.  I haven't had any luck in the woods or at home.   :dunno:

Since I've been off bowhunting and the wife has a few days off from work....thought I could get her "In the mood"...   :rolleyes:

So...took some James Valley Doe lure, rubbed it on instead of my usual cologne    :eek:  Now...I can't get any family members to come within 100 yds of me especially the wife!    :scared:    

I will say this...my tear ducts have been running pretty steady and no more sinus problems...   :laughing:

On a serious note, the Fitzgeral Deer Dander works and works great. Its all i use

Post by: Knawbone on November 12, 2012, 02:42:00 PM
How do you use that deer dander, directly on your clothes or sent pads, drag, other. Would be thankfull for the low down as I'v used it before on myself, but can't remember if it did me any good. I was thinking about using it this year but didn't.

Call Smokey with your questions....he can explain it a lot better than me....he's got the Wensels on his stuff...and Gene is making scent wicks with Smokeys and rope.....they got pics and video.  And, they are suppose to have an article coming out soon about it.

I had a really nice freak buck come into some other bucks scrape just Yesterday morning and check out the pre orbital glad lure I'd put on the licking branch with a stick.

Could not believe the way he entered and exited that I could not get a shot.  Came straight to me, walked under my stand and turned away from me going directly away from be and me stuck behind the tree.  Just not enough room to get away for the tree for a shot.

Anyhow...Smokey knows his stuff...and it VERY knowledgeable and is a trapper....those guys know scents.

I spray it on boots /legs on walk in. Spray around shot locations , and when sitting stay a couple around my location.
I don't buy into the scent hype but this stuff works and has for years for me

Of all the things I've tried, this has worked the best for me. As for commercial deer lures Smokey's is the way to go.

Brianlocal3,,, do you notice if the deer dander goes bad? I still have some from last season and was wondering if I should try it again.  also hows that other stuff they sell "doe in need" I think,, still have some of that too.
Title: Re: deer scents
Post by: Brianlocal3 on November 12, 2012, 09:43:00 PM
I have not used the doe in need so sorry but no help.  And I'm not sure about the going bad ether. I'm pretty liberal with it and I also use it when coyote hunting so it goes fast.  I like their VK also.

A friend of mine uses whatever is on sale. He uses a drag line and does the figure 8 in front of his stand. He has good luck doing it. Maybe it has a lot to do with scent controll.
