I am wondering because I se ealot of newer scent companies comig out, and I am wondering how I can make my own scents and maybe sell them to hunters locally? like acorn cover scent or apple? and something to lure the deer?
anyone make their own scents? or any websites that show ya how?

I remember reading about using 100 proof clear alchohol such as gin or vodka. Supposedly you soak the material (acorns, pine needles, oak leaves, etc.) in the booze for a couple of weeks, strain out the material, and store the liquid. The article said that the good stuff (100 proof vs 80 proof) has no smell once it dries but the scent absorbed from the other material remains.

I've never tried it, but if you do, please let us know how it works.

Whenever i shoot a buck during the rut or prerut,i always cut off his tarsal glands and if it didnt empty his bladder i drain it as well.Do this on does too. The pee only lasts for 4-5 days depending on temperature.The tarsal glends last a long time.I have used this for a long time and it has worked quite well.If you dont get a deer try to steal your buddies stuff.
