I was given the VS-1 liquid & VS-1 stick as an anniversary present from my wife last year (she's not that into hunting as much as she talked to my hunting buddy). Yes- what is in one single bottle is taken from ONE single doe. The big difference between VS-1 and the other doe-in-estrous urines is that:

- VS-1 actually contains vaginal secretions of the estrous does that the urine derives from.

- VS-1 is extremely fresh, something like less than a week old by the time it makes it to your door.

- If refridgerated, VS-1 will not break down, resulting in an amonia-based liquid. This is due to the vaginal secretions that help maintain the integrity of the substance.
-------------------------------------------
Try this- if you have any leftover doe-in-estrous urine from last season, take the top off an give it a good whiff. I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that it has the faint smell of amonia to it. If it does, throw it away, as it's useless to you as an estrous scent attractant. You'd be better off using your wife's/girlfriend's piss the next time they have their period- at least that will be fresh.

I just took a whiff of the VS-1 that I had left over from last season (yes, it's been in my fridge down my basement since last December), it smells sweet-no faint tinge of amonia like Tinks (or any other "urine only" estrous scents)after about 6 months.

One last proviso- you can't use VS-1 until the rut (maybe the very end of the pre-rut) as you'll simply be educating the smart, older bucks that something foul is afoot.

Last season I whacked an 8 pointwho intersected a scentdrag that I made about 60 yards from my stand. When he crossed the scent line, he immediately took a hard left turn (with his nose to the ground) right to my stand. I whacked him while he was licking the scent drag I had hung off a branch ~ 10 yards from my stand. Ifstored/used properly- VS-1 works.Like most of you- I probably would have never 'fessed up the 50 geeders and purchased theVS-1 liquid on my own. Once Ihad it and did my homework on what I actually had- I was impressed. I still am.
