Tetro Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Has anyone tried the scents sticks out in the field. I'm asking about the ones that burn like incense sticks. I've seen these in stores and just curious on if they work or not. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flintlock1776 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Yep, several times. During the rut. No positive results seen. I have noticed it does spook game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan Givan Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 If I was going to use any scents, I would stick to normal doe estrous like Tink's or Code Blue. Never really bought into the sticks or buck bombs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 The scent sticks have been around a long time. Although they may attract a deer now and then, I think they attract a hunters curiosity more. I have tried them and soon learned that they got my money, lol. On another side don't get any of the goo or the smoke on your clothes. Seemed like it took 10 washes to get away from smelling what the mfg says is a doe in heat or an apple. IF they were so good they wood be the talk of the hunting community and they are not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntnfish Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I was thinking of trying them but now after reading some of the reviews I think I'll just stick with what has worked for me in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Used them a few years ago, never had any luck with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetro Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Thanks for the responses, looks like I'll avoid the sticks. Most of my success came during our run, or just calling/rattling. I might try the estrus, I haven't used it in a few years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger-Hunter Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Better to get 2 bottles of Tinks 69 and 2 Bottles of Code Blue. Mix them with water in large jug (that you won't use again). Get a couple drag rags, put a rope around the corner and soak the rags. While walking to your stand, drag the rope behind you. When you get to your stand walk around 360degress, leading the trail back to your stand. Leave the rag in a bush 1-2 feet off the ground and poor the rest of the water/urine combo on the ground. Get back in your stand - stay out all day if possible. Come back the next day if the first day didn't pan out Guaranteed a deer if you do this after October 15th.
