firefighter7 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 i recently moved back to north central PA after a fews years and plan on hunting again this year. So my question is, what are the best scents to use during the rifle whitetail season (Nov 30-Dec 12) for North Central PA(Tioga County to be exact)?

ToddCountyKiller Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I really like the Wildgame Buck Bombs. They work exceptionally well around here. I think a 3 MPH wind is supposed to carry the scent 1/4 of a mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Firm believer in doing your scouting, being scent-free and placing yourself where the deer's gonna be on its own. I've had roughly 3 times more deer spooked by lure scents (of many different brands) applied as per the directions on the bottle than I've had positive results. I'm spending no more $$ and taking no more chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 As for scents...I've had good luck with 'ol drop tine (doe to door). Won't find it in the stores...internet or phone call. On the other side...I've never used any scents during gun season in PA. Deer seem to just be running for cover and not too concerned about scents. Archery...I use scents toward the end of Oct. till the end of the season. Gun...I do the Strut plan...scout and put myself in the "right" place and don't worry about scents.

brownie65 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I gotta go with Tinks. My boy loves it to, he won't hunt without putting it out. As Tink told him once- "Hunting without scent is like fishing without bait." My son has never forgotten this, won't hunt without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like I have tried em all and it seems they all work sometimes on the deer you dont want to shoot and never on the big guys you do want to shoot.

With the amount of people that take to the woods on the first two days of rifle season, scents are going to do you little good unless you are on private land that has few people hunting it. Too many PA hunters can't sit still and tromp through the woods making everything into an uproar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
