What scent do you use?

I usually use Tinks 69 but last year I tried Apparation scents dead red.. I found apparation scents to be very watery compared to tinks.I have had mixed results by both brands. I have heard of a buddy of mine using Bob Kirsner(something like that) and he likes his brand..What's everyone else use?

    It works! Never tried the bomb tho. Like Catchabigone said, It's all about timing.

    Estrous bombs are awesome when you have an all day sit during the rut. Other than those I use local urines called Bone Head Scents for my buck, basically to make scrapes with.

    The Lord has blessed us all today... It's just that he has been particularly good to me.

    if u kill a buck in the rut, Cut the tarsal glands off of your buck. Put them in a quart jar. Try to get some off his urine when you gut him and put that in the jar with the glands. Get some everclear 190 proof or the highest proof u can find and pour in enough to just cover the glands. Put on the lid and shake and up every couple months until the next deer season. The longer it sits the better it gets.

    I switched to Hunter Specialty products by accident one year because Walmart was out of the more popular products. I put it on my decoy and it brought in several deer and I've used it for 3 years since then. I don't know why it worked for me, but I'm guessing because the deer were used to smelling all types of stuff and this made them curious. I don't know.

    Atitadog Is this what you were talking about. using the testicle gland,By cutting the gland in half and scraping out the membrane. And then  mixing with clear spring 190 and vodka of same amount. Using a mason Jar or some kind of glass air tight container,Shake real well and placing in cool dark space( like basement or closet)  for a year or so. I seen this on a tv show a couple years ago and yes this stuff work VERY good.   Dave

    I made a mock scape this past Monday and spayed Code Blue urine in it. Set up on it Tuesday and had a 6 or 8 point scratch it, sniff it just before first light. Then a monster sniff it 10 minutes later.
    First time anything has ever worked for me.

    I have used all the above mentioned stuff I am not sure if it worked or not seems as though the bucks i shot were going from a to b for what ever reason. i have not tried the homemade stuff sounds interesting. but the other day i used the code blue made a mock scrape the stuff is supposed to be good for 30 days. anyway 6:00 saw a buck 60 to 70 yards away blew my doe call he stopped a few more calls started towards me stopped turned made a bee line right to the mock scrape i just made hours earlier . couple more steps slight quartering away the dead head reaper removed the connection between the heart and lungs he was dead before he knew it. not a great buck but nice rack and good body size. i also have used the buck bombs they smell like he ll cant say if they work for sure

    Hey bighead, u can also use the testicals. The tarsal glands work best. U can even do both and mix it alittle. The guy on the show u saw was johny thorpe. The best lure maker of all time. Thats the way trapping lures are made.

    Never had much success with scents, after reading this thread I bought Black widow triple X and starting using it the last two weeks of season, it worked great. Had multiple bucks come in on the scent trail every time I used it. ended up harvesting a 10 pt Saturday that came in on it, not a wall hanger but decent( 16 inch spread 6-7 inch G2 and G3s) and my stepson(jr hunter) smoked a spike that actually saw him but just kept coming down the trail we laid. Will be buying another bottle next year.

    Not many people know this but a few years back Tinks was caught using Cow urine in some part of the country.  Personally, i don't like to use any scent because i figure it is just more crap for the deer to smell.

    Know a guy used to rub a peeled  apple on a tree till there was nothing left to see- They come up and lick it --and it doesnt mess up the area when your gone with all kinda Deer scents all over every place you and others have been.
     Fella  used to squirt Tarsel and or Doe in Esterous all over every place he ever sat in the woods- gotta confuse them by mid season lol.
     Kinda like a young guy tryin to figure out what Gin Mill the girls are REALLY  hanging in.

    I use apples for my cover scent. And I think giving the deer something to smell isnt necessarily a bad thing.
