I have had Tinks 69 trails followed several times. I used to apply it at the truck and leave a trail all the way to the stand. I quickly changed this up when I had a buck cross my trail and follow it back towards the truck
I once had a decent buck chasing a doe stop when he got downwind of my Tink's bomb. The doe walked off and he hung out within bow range for a couple minutes sniffing the Tink's. I couldn't believe that he let the doe leave!
Just this morning I had a basket rack cut my Tink's trail that I laid down around my stand. He came in to 10 yards and stood there for several minutes sniffing the scent bomb. The only problem was that it was still too dark to shoot. Oh well.
I won't soon give up on the scents!
