I too have had good luck with using Tink's 69. More than once I knew the deer could smell me too, but they still came right up to it. I do take extreme care to scent control, this just seems to add another layer...
On the advise of a great bowhunting friend, this year I'm also going to try Wildlife Research Golden Estrus.
We'll see if NE WI deer can tell the difference! Lol!
Human females smell different, as I recall from long long ago, so why wouldn't female deer smell different from each other? If the scent, whatever brand or style, is communicating that there is a doe in heat who is feeling the need to breed, the bucks will come thinking with the little head. I've had bucks that were following a hot doe walk within 20' of me and never take notice despite the blaze orange that I was wearing.
