While making plans for this years hunting season I found myself pondering
how I would go about putting out scents below my cliff "blind" without goingdown the rockface via the gametrail or tram road down below.

Since I'd want to put out the scent at 3 or 4 spots within 40 yard or so of the rock, I came up with the idea of just tossing the bombs from up above <g>. The obvious problems to me with this idea are that I doubt I could throw a little scentbomb hardly any distance away, and that retrieving them later on could be a problem. (Them laying on the ground could cause them to get buried by leaves... plus the scent wouldn't be dispersed all that well.)

I came up with an idea that just might work. I'm sure someone else has thought of this... but if not , I'll put it out there and see what you all think of it.

The idea is.... WIFFLEBALLS !!!

My thinking is, where a wiffleball has all those slots on the top side, I could shove some cotton or wick material inside it. Add a bit of weight to the bottom of the ball to help it to end up bottom side down on the ground, and help with me being able to make a longer throw. Add scent of choice... and fling the sucker as far as I can <g>... (While being careful NOT to fall off the blooming rock...)

I'd prep the wiffleballs by storing them in a bag with earth and leaves for a few days before I head to camp, to help "treat" the plastic with a woods scent... After the season, I could just walk the trail and pick up the balls for use next year, or disposal.

It would be a cheap enough thing to do... and would help keepme away from the bottom of the rock.

Any thoughts?
