RE: hunting scents
I don't use tinks 69, because it seems like everyone where I hunt uses it. I think the deer associate the smell with humans. I try offbrands or some that is bottled locally. Best I ever used is James Valley. Everything else has been kinda so so. Matetricks is not bad.

RE: hunting scents
Give the Wildlife Research Company a try. I have used their elk and mule deer urines with amazing results. We had one cow come in and pick the bottle up in her mouth and throw it all over herself. The mule deer urine i sprinkled on small shrubs and the next day when i came back to the area the shrubs had been bruatilzed by a buck. I haven't used their doe urine yet but i know they make a good product.

RE: hunting scents
When choosing a scent,The best thing to look at is were the animals are located,that they collect the urine,glands etc. from.Many Deer ,along with other animals may not come into or react to a urine or gland scent,that is collected out west,and used in the east,and vise versa.
I know many will argue this point,but from my experience and testing,I stick by this,Buy A local (By meaning the area ,you intend to hunt/trap etc.)manufactured or collected scent/lure,And you will see a big difference.
But this is just my opinion,and my experiences.

RE: hunting scents
I used some Code Blue doe estrus on Thanksgiving day while rattling. I used those little felt scent things to stick in the bottle and hang on a tree. I'd hang one downwind and rattle. At the first location, I got up a 6 pt. At the next location, I got up an 8 pt. and a 10 pt., then they began fighting a little bit. I could tell they could smell me, but they were just too attracted by the scent to flee. They ignored me and the camera for quite some time. I'll definately use it again.
