First of all I normally don't use scents of any kind. I perfer the deer not smell anything out of the ordinary while I'm hunting. That being said, this year I'm hunting an area where the neighbors are feeding deer on both sides of me so I haven't been seeing as many deer as I have in the past. With the rut in full swing I decided to get a bottle of Tinks 69 and use it their little orange scent canisters. Last Friday morning it was 18 degrees and I was in the stand by 7:30 and there was no wind. Around 10am there was a light breeze coming out of the southwest. I had placed 2 scent bombs in my shooting lanes and was just waiting to see if they would work. At 10:30 a nice 7 pointer came in like he was on a rope to one of the scent bombs and I put an arrow right behind his shoulder. I recovered him within 40 yards. That to me was proof enough that some of this stuff really works.
