Default RE: Scents - what do you use?

I have experimented with them in year's past. Most notably Tinks but used others as well. Even fell for the dispenser that only dispenses in daylight so they have to come byduring hunting hours,etc.,etc.(See, most of us have been suckers at least once in our life.)

While hunting a funnel between feeding and bedding one morning, I had a mature "shooter" buck come in and smell a Tink's bomb hanging in a tree, but it was too darkto shoot.

He didn't spook. He smelled it for a few seconds and then went on his merry way. I feel strongly that he was alreadytraveling through that funnel with or without the Tinks.

I have had numerous doe and young bucks come up and smell them and act indifferent towards them. Same thing though. I never felt or could substantiate that it "drew" any of them in, they were already travelling through the area I was hunting.

I don't use them anymore because 1) I didn't see any compelling results and 2) I don't want to fool around anymore than I have to in getting on stand.JMO
