Scents, Calls or Rattles

As we approach this last few days of October, what are you using? I put the rattles away and am thinking that tinks #69 scent bombs would be about right. Was thinking about trying the can. What are you using? Thanks

The Tinks 69 scent bombs are a must. I' m also dragging a scent wafer behind me on my walk in (I cut through a standing cornfield to get to my stand). I' m also planning on breaking out the rattlin' bag this weekend - just gonna tickle them a little. Haven' t used it yet. Of course I' ve only been out once so far this year and that was two weeks ago in the middle of October before the calls and scents are warranted.

I' ve still be using just regular doe urine. The last 2 times I have gone out in the evenings I have tipped my Primos can a couple times before leaving the woods. Yesterday I noticed a fresh rub within feet of where I was located. I' m not sure if the can had any effect but it' s exciting nonetheless.

I' ve been calling in some small bucks with the rattling bags and the can It' s been working everytime i' ve seen bucks the last couple weeks. I called in two small bucks on Tuesday with them. I used to think years ago they were a gimmick, but done right they work.

I' ve never had any luck with urine based scents, but I' ve got some tarsal scent I' m going to test this season. My call always comes with me, and has brought me success in the past. Rattling I don' t do, since I hunt on public land and don' t want to attract the pumpkin army.

It' s definitely that time to use the lures. I' ll be dragging the Tinks 69 in back of me with a few drops around my stand.
