Scent Drags
#3
My very first buck with a bow came in on a Tinks69 trail.
I had a couple here and there, nothing worth noting.
This morning I had a coyote follow a HS Dominant buck trail past my stand, missed a 20 yard broadside shot
Sad thing is when he bolted through the thicket, he took some deer with him.

I make my drag rag using pee from deer that I have killed. Not sure how well it works, but figure it does not hurt. I have done this for 40-45 years. Have had at least one extremely fine buck come in trailing the drag. Also have had a bobcat trail my drag all the way t the very bottom of my ladder stand. That was cool.

I have had Tinks 69 trails followed several times. I used to apply it at the truck and leave a trail all the way to the stand. I quickly changed this up when I had a buck cross my trail and follow it back towards the truck
I once had a decent buck chasing a doe stop when he got downwind of my Tink's bomb. The doe walked off and he hung out within bow range for a couple minutes sniffing the Tink's. I couldn't believe that he let the doe leave!
Just this morning I had a basket rack cut my Tink's trail that I laid down around my stand. He came in to 10 yards and stood there for several minutes sniffing the scent bomb. The only problem was that it was still too dark to shoot. Oh well.
I won't soon give up on the scents!

I have used Buck Stop 200 Proof for years on a drag string with occasional success. Probably at least a dozen times in 40+ years of hunting (although we didn't have scents when I first started hunting) I have had small buck follow my line in. And many times does were curious about the scent and would likewise follow it for a while. I have never had a 2 1/2 year old or older follow the line though. This year I gave up on scents entirely. They just seem to have no affect on luring in the type of buck I am looking for and are simply not cost effective for me.
