Skeeter,

I am werry on sent as well, and have lost good shots due to some of them. In my opinion some sents need to be used at certain times.

The doe estrus should be used during the rut period and the musk obviously with a scrap/rubbing area. Some of those musk sents will run off other bucks, but if you know of a certian deer with in the area he may come in to check it out.

I haven't personally used the musk sent but have use a doe in estrus sent. Matter of fact is was last season, I placed some in a Tinks sent bomb and took a good 6 pointer. The thing is I'm not really sure if the buck came into smell the stuff or not, as I was hunting a good trail?

Being this is a trophy hunt leave no doubt, if you know your area and know the deer are there it may be better to stick to the natural hunting and use the wind and location to your advantage.

When you said they were free samples are they pretty new items for this company that manufactures the sents, have they been tested before, do you know how old the sents are. Some question to ask your self.

If you do use them let us know what you think?

Good luck and safe hunting.

KEEP HUNTING THE GREAT OUTDOORS & GOD ALIVE, PASS IT ON!
