What deer scents should I use?
Filed under: Hunting Tactics
First I must say that I’m a huge fan. I am subscribed to your videos and watch them every week. I’ve been a hunter every since I was old enough to walk with my father to the stand. I’ve learned a lot from your videos and have been applying some of the management strategies and hunting techniques on my family’s property here in Wisconsin.
My question is about supplemental scents for whitetail deer such as doe urine, buck urine, and doe estrous. Do you have any advice for the use of such products? Are they something that’s even worthwhile in your opinion? If so, when and where is it appropriate to use the different kind of scents? In addition, there’s countless amounts of brands for these kind of products, so what are some things to look for when choosing a brand?
Thanks in advance and God Bless,
Paul
P.S. Good luck going after “Chainsaw” and your many other hit listers this season!
Paul,
Thank you for being part of the GrowingDeer family!
I don’t use any scents. My hunting strategies are based on patterning deer by understanding how they use the local habitat during different weather, etc., I do build mock scrapes but rely on the location and physical appearance to attract deer. I find that once deer begin using these mock scrapes they will add their own scent frequently.
Enjoy creation,
