I have been using bowhunters setup for a bunch of years now. I have used it in several states, at all different times of the year. Fellas let me tell you... the stuff works. As I sit here thinking, I can recall at least 4 deer that were arrowed with there nose inches from my drag rag, one of which is my best buck to date. Of course there were other deer that never made it that close if you know what I mean. I have had deer(last year) get up out of their beds at 1:30 in the afternoon to check out the bh setup. I have had other deer that I arrowed only after the deer moved down wind of my stand then turned and came in on a string after getting a nose full of it. I had to sit in my stand one night until almost 9pm waiting for a buck move away from a film can. In all the time I have been using the product I have never witness a negative reaction. With that being said let me also say that I am very careful about scent control, the deer smell the bh setup not me. Also, while I have had great success with the stuff, deer just seem to ignore the stuff after the first week of November. I am no expert nor do I work for scrape juice, but if you are looking for something to give you that extra little bit of luck this early season, give it a try.
