RE: To all my fellow Michiganders
plain ol' vanilla extract - yep that's the stuff.
I've used James Valley scents for some time now. Last year I had a buck get downwind of my scent - he was 75 yrds out and turned dead into the scent and got about 15 yrds of the scent and lets just say the rest is history - or lets just say the rest is dinner.
Keep in mind I've used his and other scents dozens of times in the past and never had any luck - but it was still fun.
I don't use them very often but sometimes I like to try to old hail mary as things get on in the season.
