Default DEER DANDER

Has any one tried this prouduct ?

I got some of this at a local Wal - Mart just to see what it would do and I gotta tell ya guys this stuff work real good.

When I went hunting earlyer today I'd sprayed this on my clothes and to my stand .
Within two hours I had deer every where , small bucks and does all over the place.
When it was time to get out and head for home , I left my stand and started thru the woods when I turned around to look back I had two does following me.
I think this prouduct is great although when I got home to the better part of me , she said WHEW you need to take a shower .

I started using it last year. I was getting winded more often than I liked since I was hunting in a river bottom where the wind is variable at all times. So I started exploring with several different cover scents. I tried Knight & Hale raccoon piss, Tink's Coon piss, Hunter's Choice Earth scent, I even used carbon blast, and not a single one of them worked for me. Then one night I was watching Dan Fitzgerald outdoors and Guy was talking this Deer Dander stuff up so I though what the heck I'll give it a try since I've tried everything else. I payed 12 dollars for a bottle of it at a bowshop here in eastern illinois. Let me tell you I will never use anything else ever again. Not only does it work as a cover scent but it actually works as an attractant from time to time. I suggest spraying it all over your clothes, and then leaving them outside in a dry area after doing so cause it really does smell like a deer. The first time I used it in fact I used it as a cover scent and then used some still steamin on a drag cloth attached to my boot. It wasn't 20-30 minutes later a nice basket rack 12 pointer came walking in with his nose directly to the ground right where I walked in. I never got a shot at him, but I did kill a nice 8 pointer later that year doing the very same thing. Since I've been using Deer Dander I can honestly say I haven't been winded but maybe once or twice. Use it generously and I promise you won't be dissapointed. Bow season has only been in for a month here in Illinois and I'm already on my third bottle. Spray it around your stand on the tree and surrounding limbs to mask your position. Like I said I love it, and I've made several of my buddies believers in it as well.

Another "love it" vote , I've been using it for three years now and wouldn't go out without it .

Are you sure that the deer dander was the reason that the does were atracted to you? Just kidding, anyways, I bought it but have not yet tried it. I plan to this coming weekend. Sounds very promising from what you all are indicating.

OK guys, Now don't give me too hard a time about this, but what is deer dander? I have figured out that it is a spray something or other. Is it a cover scent, an attractant, or just what. I have never heard of it, and I haven't gotten out much for the past 2+ months, so if it is new, I wouldn't know it.

OK stop laughing at me and just tell me.

Thanks

God Bless

Thanks Red Lion,

Do you happen to know what it smells like, or at least what it is supposed to smell like ? IE... Just a deer body scent, a buck lure scent, a doe pee scent,a tarsel gland scent, ? I would love to find a new scent , that works, for my hunting area. People use scents a bunch down here, and I think the bucks have, over the last few years, begun to shy away from several of them. Tinks 69 is way over used and abused here. So I am always on the look out for something they might not react poorly to.

Thanks

God Bless

It smells like deer , you can spray it on your clothes and boots .
You can also use it as attractant , when you get to your stand or blind and spray it all over your area within range .
Trust me you will have deer coming in to you from every direction , it happened to me that way .
I was amazed on how this product worked , now I use it everytime I'm not kiddingthe deer will hang around your area.

Thanks RD, I may have to get out of the house later this a.m. and make a run to walmart to see if they have it. I gotta find me a buck growl too. I may be the poster child for deer hunting marketing teams, but the fact of the matter is , you just never know. I heard great things last year about stuff called rice bran. A friend of mine owns a feed store, so I went and got a 50 lb. bag from him. He said he couldn't keep it in stock. Everyone was buying it up. Well, my deer thought it sucked. They wouldn't touch it. But I am still willing to try new things.

Good luck and be safe

God Bless

I've found that it also works exceedingly well as a wife repellent too , mine hates the smell of it . My granddaughter described it by asking "Papaw , how come you smell like pee ?"
I dunno , I kinda like the smell of it personally .
