Any body use the smokeys lures and rope wiks. This past season ? Pics ?  Pros and cons. .

Yes. It works. Probably a lot of ways to do it.
What I did is put the wick in an area that was fairly easy for me to access, thus, avoid smelling up my area. I got photos of bucks within about 24 hours EVERY SINGLE TIME!

For sure  it works it's a great thing ..gene wensel has a wicked wicks article up that's real good ...google it!

I always believed in smokeys deer lure since I used his preorbital lure on licking branches but never used the interdigital lure but gene took it to another level with the wicks!  

I have always used it on licking branches and have had great trail cam pics and lots of visiting bucks but gene took it to  the next level with the wicks!!  

Thanks pred80  got mine at Denton hill last summer during there seminar. Interesting .  Didn't have the time to really get into it  ill start early this year  going to get a trail cam this year any tips?

Use the hemp type rope aprox 3 to 4 feet off of ground make sure you use rope not with creosote or anything on it nylon rope works  putt couple drops of smokeys preorbital lure on it and set camera nearby and also a deadly  combination is use his interdigital lure in a mock scrape below and watch the camera activity always use rubber gloves...hope this helps but check out gene wensels wicked wicks article on experience!

Thanks pred80.

Not a prob I will try to get a pic with my rope wick in use with a nice buck that was nocturnal and I never saw him in daylight  but he would visit  almost everynightL

Here's the buck that always was curious to the wick ..gives ya setup idea but I lowered this one a little

Nice buck. What a shot that would be . Right in the pocket ! Hope he comes in shooting light for you good luck.  How do like your covert cam  ?

I love my covert camera been out since last summer around august and still has two bars showing on battery also superb picture detail! I thought that was good for battery's since of the below zeros we been having

Had many pics of bucks and does using several Wicks this past year.  Will have more out next year.

Guys,
Can someone recommend a online source for the hemp rope without creosote? Thank you.

How about clothes line  rope

I got mine at Lowes.  Just make sure it is untreated.

Try any farm supply store.

I want to try this
Ive heard great things

Any natural fiber rope will work. Nylon probably won't retain scent as well as cotton or hemp. Old anchor rope from salt water areas works. So does used barn rope and cotton horse leads. If you find scented rope, lay it in the bed of a pickup truck for a few months before use. I have both part one and part two of my articles on our website with some photos. Hang the end closer to three feet than four feet and make it easily visible and rigid if possible. Actually you can hinge cut a horizontal branch, bend it down and get by with a 12" piece of rope zip tied to the end of the hanging branch.

Very cool...
