RE: Barn Burner Question Of The Week
Doe tarsal glands. I read an article in a magazine last summer about using them during the rut and decided to try it. I shot a doe Nov. 9th and removed the glands and put them in a refrigerator. On Nov. 13th Ihung them in a tree 15 yards from my stand and harvested a small 8-point. He came in with his nose in the air, looking for that doe. I retreived the glands and put them in the freezer this time when I got home. On Nov. 17th I set them out again. A nice 8-point followed a doe towards my stand but was going to be in an bad place for a shot. He smelled the glands and momentarily stopped trailing the doe to check out the other scent and offered a 12 yard shot. He is now hanging on my wall.
As far as the store bought scents go, I haven't used them for years due to lack of results. I'll definatelygive the tarsal glands another shot next year.
