I've used tarsal glands in conjunction with Doe-in-heat scent during the rut. However, I used it as a distractant rather than an attractant. I really only use scent to stop deer for a shot. I place it so when the deer stops to smell it, he is looking away from me. Makes for a relaxed, standing shot.

Tarsal scent seems to make the deer curious and doesn't spook them, at least initially!

Nope never have,I use Tinks smoke sticks during the rut and had great luck for about five or six years.

my uncle uses them every year from the deer he shot the year before. i might try it this year just to see if they work

I take tarsal glands off both doe's and bucks and use them as drags as well as hanging them once I am on stand or intending on sitting for any length of time.
I have watched bucks come in on them as if pulled in on a string.They definitely work.Use rubber gloves when you cut them off,freeze the ones you will not be using right away.

Yes, I've cut off and used various scent glands, but the fact is.....If he smells you, it's over !!!
