I have  used  both and   I tend  to think  that I get  more  attention  from the  tinks.

I guess you could crush up some acorns to help with the apples for more aromatic send-off... I'm gonna try it! When hunting, I'd rather go into the woods smelling like anything but a human being!

(I can personally attest to the usefullness of WD-40 as a fish attractant. I used it on frozen bait anchovies when fishing for Salmon off the coast of San Francisco... Human urine is also a fish attractant as is saliva. What turns fish off is the amino acid L-Serine found in all Mammalian skin oil).

I worked in a hunting,fishing store for 4 years,I got to try everything out there..IMO i think from what i seen over the years,they all work at some point or another....But i have had way more success with JAMES VALLEY SCENTS,Have had several bucks come in on a scent drag grunting and dogging like it was a hot doe right in front of them

i killed a small tenpiont this year with the black widow,first bottle i ever used.The buck came out of a bedding area dead down wind about 75yds away smelled his way to about thirty,it was his last mistake.happened on a georgia w.m.a quota hunt at end of october.Last year i killed a decent eight point with tinks 69 buck bomb,mid nov. came into a food plot with a smaller seven,he stopped every spot i sprayed it.But if i could only go with one it would be tinks.

I think the best part was when Homunculi talked about a "pissn match" !!  Cracked me UP!  Seems like a perfect pissn match for arrowing deer!! lol Way back when I was a bowhuntin' ed instructor I used to try everything and then talk about it in my classes.  I tried peeing right out of my treestand.  Deer walked right up and checked it out.  I was amazed, as I had read articles about NOT leaving scent.. There were even things like "Johnny Pee" bottles to a guy could pee into the bottle and not have to leave his scent in his hunting area.  I have urinated into scrapes, and into my OWN scrapes for years!

I have tried the Tinks. Drank two bottles of the stuff and could not tell the difference except my farts really smelled bad for a few days. I am willing to try again I guess, how bad does the Black Widow taste?    :phew:

I've been deer huntin' for, 57 of my 67yrs. and I know for a fact that human urine does not frighten deer. I pee in every scrape I find. It really gets their attention. No joke.
It's not the kill, but the hunt, where memories are made.

well i bid on a auction last year with texas bowhunters and got some muzzy bowhunters set up, well used it on public land and shot a buck first morning
while he was licking the foliage i sprayed it on.
now mind u i been hunting this publc for 20 yrs and never got a shot at a buck before so i said hmm   maybee it works,

then after three days on my gun lease with no action i set up accros a little creek  and tryed agan  and had a nice buck (broken tinestho)
walk to 15 ft so i had to decide  to shoot with my muzzleloader or my xbow( ok allows both in the field at the same time)so i neck shot him.
and after my openin morning buck on  public land i shot a doe licking the same foliage  the next afternoon!!!!!!!!

so till it lets me down ill get some every year. it seems to draw yotes 2 ive had five within feet of  different stands 150 miles apart since using it!!!!!!!

I made a scrape, hung a camera, peed in the scrape and  turned on the camera. This video was taken a few hours later. Click the picture to start it.

I add four or five drops of Tonquin Musk to 4 oz. of my own pee. Works better than any of the store bought brands.

Buy the artificial, the real stuf is very costly.

Tinks for me doesn't work, I use Kischels scents, mainly his scrape kit.  The deer in my area go nuts at my scrapes, usually have everything from button bucks to the big boys work the scrapes.

Good luck
