Another point on this topic - coming from Michigan EVERYONE is looking for a something to help them kill a big buck (because they're aren't very many of them). I've never seen more guys (myself included) who would buy a variety of new "gimmicks" each season thinking they were missing something.

Well, many years later, hunting in Illinois, Iowa, and Michigan - age is the biggest factor to why some of this stuff works sometimes. A 1-1/2 year old buck is about the most "non-edjucated" animal in the woods. You can dupe him with a variety of things that would send a mature animal to another county. Just something to consider.

I used to hunt with the guy who's killed more B&C animals with a bow than anyone I believe (all fair-chase). He doesn't call, use scents, scent-elimination suits, sprays, or attractants! He was the guy that pretty much changed my perception of what most of us have been brain-washed about for years. I have since saved a ton of money on products that don't give you any-more advantage than a food product that can be bought in a grocery store for a fraction of the cost.
