Tinks 69
 

Ok, I'm just curious here. I have used Tinks 69 Doe in Estrous scent over the past 3 years and I have noticed a startling trend. Once the deer, both bucks and does smell it, they act as though they are in grave danger and run off snorting through the woods:(. I have used this product properly and I have been up-wind of the deer everytime I used it. What the heck is going on? Is the product that bad? What "Truely" works? I live in Cincinnati, Ohio if that helps. Please offer me some suggestions and or tips. Thanks in advance:)

Tinks 69 is an estrous scent. Non-estrous does will be repelled by it. If a buck is following a doe and the doe runs away from your Tinks 69, the buck will follow the live doe. It should however work on a lone buck unless it's way too early in the season. Try using both an estrous scent and a dominant buck scent. This may bring in the big boys but the little guys might be driven away.

Make sure the scent trail is upwind of the deer, not you!

Just depends what they are in the mood for..like Andy says.

Heck I grunted a nice buck in Saturday...Yesterday I see a "deer" andgrunt at it and it takes off like a bullet. I assume it was a doe that was tired of being pesterred by horny bucks??

I have never had a deer react to in anyway...But I still carry a bottle with me..Works great as a lubricant for squeaks in my treestand..

VS-1 is the ticket!!!! The Deer Herd in a Stick is an amazing cover scent and VS-1 estrous works awesome!!!

Im noticing the same with Tinks this year. I have usually had some luck using Tinks 69, but this year, three hunts in a row, I put out 2 or 3 scent bombs with 69 in them. used rubber gloves every time I handles them, very careful about the wind, and the whole nine yards. In three hunts in a row, Ive had young bucks by themselves get downwind of a scent bomb, and go on full alert! They have all acted very nervous circling and stomping trying to figure it out, then they leave out stiff legged and tail raised, one even snorted at it. I dont know if I got a bad bottle, but three out of four deer that have smelled it have spooked, and the one that didnt seemed confused by it, and nervous.

That VS-1 and Deer heard in a stick is great stuff.....those People at Border Crossing scents now what they are doing...and are great people...they are a customer of mine here in Michigan. You can look em up at www.bordercrossingscents.com its a cool site.
As to the Tinks...ive never had any luck using that. Not sure why.

I have used Tink 69 several times, without any results. I am going to try Golden estrus this year. It says it is 100% guaranteed. If you do not kill a buck, they give you your money back.

I used Tinks this year and have had no luck. I didn't even see a deer with it. What do yous think about Code Blue?

RE: Tinks 69
 

A major trend I have noticed with tinks is that it sits on the shelf a long time. This will cause the ammonia to increase and that strong smell will make them blow and run. Your urine should not be brown and smell real strong. I lived in Columbus, Oh and now live near Cleveland now. For the past few years I have been using a local brand that works really well. This passed weekend I ran a drag line of DOC'S extreme heat and had 6 different bucks come in and had at least 12 does walk through. The does did not even care and the bucks had there nose to the ground and came right in. If not for a couple rabbit hunters I would have taken down a beautiful 8 pt. Good luck

I used the Special Golden Estrus just yesterday and a four pointer came right up to it. Seems pretty good and a whole lot cheaper than VS-1
