Have you ever used a bucks tarsel glands,to get deer to follow you?

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!

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.
