Heck yes! I usually am a sucker for all the buck rut crap / doe urine junk etc. i swear most of it doesn't work. So this year all i'm using besides carryingmy old military backpack for scent stuff is some spray scent eliminator, the HS specialties brand. No more doe urine or of that kind of junk. I don't think I have ever lured a buck in with that scent stuff, maybe but doubtful. Most of the stuff that i've tried is old fake and outdated. I used code blue last year and if i was to use anything it would be that in the gel form. I got a 8pt. a fewyears ago using the all game attractant from Fitzgerald, that might have worked i suspect. How do you know for sure. Am i throwing money away?
I carry my pack with some essentials, i don't think it is heavy to pack around.
Anybody using code blue or Fitzgerald brand products? what's your thoughts?

Not so much on what you buy, but what you actually
use while hunting. I'm usually a sucker for new products/camo/scents, but towards the end of last year I realized something. I hate carrying all that crap to the stand. [&:]My "must have" gear has grown so much over the past 8-10 years that I now need a back pack to carry my "essentials". 3 grunt calls, a can call, scents, handwarmers, gloves, flashlight, rope, trail markers, tp, saw, chew ( trying to cut that out completely)....plus spares of some things.
10+ lbs of junk. No more.
This year is bare bones. Bow hanger, bow, release knife, and permit. Everything else is staying either in the truck or in the garage ( I hunt behind my house most of the time)[8D]
