Special Golden Estrus
 

Last hunting season I put out some tinks and it didnt work worth a flip.Did not even see a deer near it.This year I have a new place to hunt and I was wanting to know how good Special Golden Estrus works, some one told me it works a lot better than tinks.

"Works" is a relative term since a buck has to smell it for it to work. What the deer is smelling is mostly the faint aroma from ammonia as the urine breaks down, that piques it's curiosity enough to check out the source. Once it arrives at the source it begins analyzing any other odors such as pheromones, which means it has to be close to the source since they don't carry far before degrading. The smell of another deer works at least as well as urine, and usually better since another deer is either going to be a date or a rival. I've had deer follow my scent trail for hundreds of yards while wearing Deer Dander™, never had that kind of reaction from pee.

last year i tried the Golden Estrus on the Trophy Leaf with negative results. it worked as well as every other scent i have tried....not one deer payed attention to it.

I did the same, deer went right past my stand and didn't even slow down. Won't waste money on them again.

I had the same same results as well. Hell I even had deer blowing just at the smell of it. I have quit using scents all together. Do yourself a favor...save your money. 23 years of hunting... tried just about everything and keep coming up with the same thing...nothing:action-smiley-099:.

I don't know the reason why, every buck I drew in with scents were on very cold days. Never had any luck with it on warmer days.

I wonder how watered down ammonia would work?I might try it this year.At least it's cheap if it does'nt work..

I've had mixed results with that, the concentration is the tricky part, if it's off just a little you might as well be doing jumping jacks in your blind. Be sure to use distilled water, and go with clear ammonia that has no added scents or other additives.

SIDE NOTE: Coworkers have the devil's own time figuring out where that nasty pee smell is coming from when all they can find is a plastic leaf.

I'm just sayin'... ;)

Have a lease in SW Georgia and CODE BLUE seems to work alot better than tinks. don't know why but it does.

Single source urine usually outperforms mixed deer and cow pee.

code blue- got it from cabelas.

last year spent some big money on two bottles...not one buck

they work
 

Pats thats because on cold days the scent is pushed down. But I have used special golden estrus for a couple of years now and i have had amazing results but i find it more effective prerut

I've tried many different brands of scent with with little to no success.2 years ago I started using Bob Kirschner's scents with great results.I've connected on 2 nice buck in 2 years and I'm sure his scent had alot to do with getting those deer.The first year I had a 10 point follow my scent trail right to my treestand and stop,giving me a perfect broadside shot.If you follow his advice I'm sure you will have the same results.The hardest part is controlling your human scent as best you can.

save your money, it's another bull-oney sales gimmick. I have tried code blue, tinks and one or two others and pppppppppppppp, nothing. stuff is better served as cover scent for your boots.

"I was hunting from my property in a stand I built in a highly pressured area. I had made a mock scrape in a run that came right to my stand about 25 yards from the stand. For the whole Vermont bow season I had added the trails end #307 to my ultimate scrape dripper. I had seen no deer coming though during the daylight hours but did have one come in under me that did not come right out in front of me near nightfall. I was checking my scrape and finding tracks in the scrape in the mornings.
