Anyone have luck with Tinks #69? And do you think that the bottle I have is fresh if it has been unopened in the refrigerator since last christmas? Thanks for the info.

I have seen bucks come to the scent and put there nose directly into the film canister that the tinks was poured into. I've never had a monster buck come in to the scent, but small 8 pts. and younger have come to it on several occasions. If it's been in the refrigerator unopened then I think that it should be fine.

It works for me & yes the deer come right up to it & smell it...was the last thing a doe smelt last season!!!!!!!!! Refrigerate it, hell it just goes back into the box in the closet with the rest of my deer hunting 'toys' as my wife calls them..........

I don't think it will do much for the big deer.

Tinks worked for me...took my first buck with a bow useing #69! For the cost of a bottle,I buy new every year...<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Never had any luck with it. Tried it numours of times over the many years I have hunted. Used it both in Michigan and Alabama with no success at all. All I can say it ever did was spook deer. I have seen them run like scared cats when they got a whif of this. Thought it was a fluke but it had happend many other times as well.

Now I know about time of year to use it and stuff like that. I know about wind direction and all that stuff. Masking human scent. It just never worked for me.

Any scent that I have seen work, that truly attracted a buck (mature buck) was used in conjunction with a decoy.

Tinks #69 works great form me.
