monster_hunter Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Hey guy im new to deer hunting and bows period but i am hoping to find some knowledge to get me on the right track to get a nice buck as far as stuff i will need cause there is a wide market of scent covers and lures to hide yur smell and attract bucks. I have always wanted to hunt and i never had any body to take me hunting or to show me things so im trying to get on the right track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 But the best equipment you can afford..find a good bow shop that will work with you to get set up...then practice practice practice..when you can keep your arrows in a pie plate at 30 yards your about ready to hit the woods..then we can talk stands safety equipment & scent elimination Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monster_hunter Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 new to hunting and bows My biggest hang up is all this scent lock clothing and spray n body wash n stuff. Is it all real necessary to get that big buck? Ive had so many ppl i kno that go buy all this stuff n dont even see a deer all season. Just dont want to be a failure.

dbHunterNY Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 the use and benefit of the scent control products out there is a little subjective. i use them to help reduce my scent and think it helps. when i say it helps, i'm say i sometimes get a couple more seconds before i get busted from what i've seen. it's kind of like somebody sticking an open gym bag in your face versus a faint smell you get a whiff of while going about. one you'll turn away without hesitation and the other you'll think for a couple seconds about what it is you smell. regardless you still need to practice good woodsmanship and hunting with the wind and what it's doing in mind. sometimes a few extra seconds is all it takes to get that trophy though and i'm leaving less scent around my hunting area going in and out. these reasons are why i bother, and why i'm in Scent Blocker gear almost from head to toe.

robbiethekid Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 new to hunting and bows Far as an attractant man I've had the best luck with the new conquest scents. Buy they're kind of expensive. But I've used Tinks 69 my whole life an always had good luck with it. Had em follow the scent when I put it on my boots right to the stand and had em stick there nose right on a scent bomb with it on there. Give it a try and happy hunting !
