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!

HapPy HuNTiN', ya'all!
 
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.
 
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!!!!!!!
 
When's the best time to put out a magnum dripper?
Got this plus two others coming to my neighbors yard around midnight almost every night. So I know they are in the woods behind his house. Neighbor says I can hunt the back of his property. We still have three months till deer season start so I'm hoping he grows some more on that rack. So I'm gonna put out a magnum dripper to bring him out in the daytime hours by season. So when's the best time to put it out. Any other suggestions on how tot him to come out in the light would be appreciated.

Here we go again. Deer lures! Estrous ! The pheromone is gone almost instantly. Unless a hot local doe came by a wizzed, you might as well forget it. Just get high up in a tree, be quiet, don't move much and sit all day. That's the best advice!


Put out any odor, and now you've put a deer on notice and aware. Then you have a spooky deer!!! Nuff said.
 
I think sex based scents have a place....They are not a cure all for bad habits or sloppy hunting.....There's exception to all rules, scent will not cause a deer to run "willy nilly" through the woods throwing caution to the wind....If a scent gets the deer to come 10 yds closer, or take that extra step forward, or turn exposing the vitals so the shot can be made, then the scent has done it's job.....Scent, when used properly and at the right time can be a tool that hunters can use to their advantage, and lets face, we all can use more tools to try and help out smart those mature bucks.....It's up to us to learn how to use it......Happy Hunting
 
Well i have a brother who has shot a lot of bucks over 150 inch range and he swears by don;t use any of that stuff be as scent free as possible an just hunt where the big ones are just like fishing if the big fish are not there you can't catch them do your scouting from a distance if you can with good glass don't run all over the woods the big ones won't tolerate this. its call LOCATION . LOCATION LOCATION do i say anymore
 
i have a buddy who is a scientist also a 30 year veteran deer hunter .. and asked him about you concoction and he pretty much well gave it a thumbs down but i have heard of people using hot apple pie candles ... one fella would go to the same tree every time he hunted and defecated on the same tree .. and he got a good 12 pointer do not know how that worked out but .. whatever works.. me i use estrus (code blue).. apples ... mineral blocks i wish i could use corn but i turkey hunt the same property on the other side ... i would have to see this work if it would at all?? but i am not willing to ruin my hunting area.. a human scent can destroy a good hunting area esp urine .... if i am understanding my friend correctly...

also know a guy who sit in his tree stand smokes ciggs all the time and drinks coffee that can float a battleship anchor ... and has them walking by all the time .. if that is not a repellent i do not know what is ..
Your buddy doesnt have a clue of what he is talking about. I have 3 scrapes set up and I only use my own pee and the bucks hit them mostly in daylight hours. I have a few pics for examples

my cousin uses the black widow and swears by their products. I think I have tried using every product on the shelf related to deer urine...mostly just my ignorance and fell to the marketing BUT, I think using buck urine and doe urine in scrapes seems to help. I have had bucks haul ass in sniffing the air after letting off a buck bomb can during the rut, but outside of that time frame its like a deterrent...I have used acorn scent and watched does come in licking every branch I sprayed with it...but heres the thing, if that deer has smelled any of these non natural scents and associated danger with it, itll never work...but, we only need it to work that first time lol
