I rarely use sents during my bowseason, but there are just some situations that call for a little help in getting mr big out into you sights. Ive use tinks before and I religiously use the deer dander by team fitzgerald. But what do you think is the best doe in estrus lure out there, VS1, tinks 69 ?

I've personally never had any luck with any of them. I think they are a waste of money.

I have had mixed results... never had any mature bucks come in to them... they also seem to spook off the does.

So far, the best scent product I've used is James Valley scents. I've tried several others, Tinks, Code blue, etc. But the scents from James Valley just seem to really work. I've never had much luck with bucks actually coming into the scent, but with this stuff, I've actually had deer downwind follow it all the way in and actually sniff the wick I had hanging on a tree.

A few years ago, a guy from James Valley was on AT giving away free samples to anyone who wanted one. I got a sample and had immediate results with it.

The one in particular that I have been using is called "Lethal Weapon". It could be mere coincedence, I don't know. But I'm pretty confident in this stuff so far.

I've always used Tinks 69 on a drag and hangers, but have only had luck with it during rifle season. Usually, it's too early during bow and could spook them. I will try this weekend as it's getting close. Like Muzzy stated, I've had them follow the dragline right to the hangers, nose to the ground all the way. When I'm dragging, I walk in on a zigzag, to give him time to be spotted rather than a straight line to my area. With a rifle, this will give you a better side shot rather than a frontal, and I put out two canisters about 75 yds on both sides.
I have to run out this afternoon to the sports store to pick some up. And if I'm not mistaken, I think they only carry Code Blue. If so, then I'll try it the weekend and see what happens. Good Luck.
