Default How many use a lure

What kind of lures do you use and have you had good luck with it? Even tell us about the brands you have used without any luck what so ever.

I dont think brand amounts to squat. I have had better success using a spray doe pee over a wick or just pouring it in a film canister. In my opinion, any good estrous doe urine in a spray bottle will work great, as long as there is a buck close enough to smell it.

First, understand there is a difference between scents and lures. Scents are catagorized into 3 types- food, territorial, curiousity. Food being apple or corn or some other type of food smell. Territorial- buck urine, tarsal gland, toe musk. Curiousity- doe in heat, doe pee. Lures are grunt calls, esterous bleats, rattling horns, etc. Mix the right scent with the right lure at the right time and you'll make lifetime memories.

I am a big beleiver/user of sex scents. I have used Tinks 69 with good results but mostly use Buck Stop. I do not use Buck urine or food scent as I have in the past & have had negative reactions. I have never had a Deer(buck or doe) spook from a sex scent. I "DO" lay scent trails around & to my stand & have had more deer (does & bucks) walk right to my tree, following my drag. I even have video of a Doe following my exact path & licking my steps where I had some on my boot when I climbed the tree. I have had Bucks walk right to my tree & wonder where the trail went as I was just above them. I have shot Bucks smelling my scent rag at the end of the trail where I put it. I have seen (and filmed) Deer cut my scent trail I have layed & come right to me. I don't leave home without it. I also rattle & grunt/bleet with very good success-not always, but many times. This Buck was shot smelling my scent rag at 15 feet the last week of Oct.. Good luck...

I use my 3d archery target for a decoy. I remove the antlers and spray some doe esterous onto it. Seems to work well for bowhunting and shot gun. When i shot gun hunt, i will place it fifty yards upwind of my stand. The deer watch it more closely than looking for anything out of the ordinary. Last year i had a small buck try to mount my decoy. I wish i had my camera with me.

That is true I work at a retail sporting good store and come the end of the deer season any scent left over is boxed up and stored then put out the next season.
