I used Tinks 69. Works well, all season. It will bring them in during the rut. And will distract them enough in late season, even when being driven by dogs, to bring them to a stop to throw their nose in the air.

If you mean the story of roundoak in general, you'll need to research that yourself. Mostly what you need to know...

I soak a round cotton makeup pad and apply it to the bottom of my LaCrosse Iceman's and walk to my stand. Time and time again, deer have followed the scent trail.

Rather ironic that he misused the word con as a foreshadowing, eh?

I have watched bucks come in on a line across an alfalfa field on a road-kill tarsal drag I laid down, and huff a scent wick dunked in Special Golden Estrus with their eyes closed when it was hung on a limb of the same tree I was sitting in with my bow.

Been using vanilla flavoring on a drag rag, spray down with it, pour few drops base of my tree, and few more also, etc. I mix it with distilled water 50/50 and only use one brand called Happy Home....has no alcohol and can buy it at the farmers market near home. Only scent I have used for 40+ years and have killed many deer with it. Have never seen a deer become alarmed while using it. Closest kill ever had with it was a nice 8 pt with a bow at base of my tree that followed my scent trail....shot him thru top of his neck and arrow was sticking in the ground....ran about 30 yds.

...my first thought as well. I doubt if I'll ever be able to not grin at any passing mention of Tink's 69.

Ha Ha!

I had a friend years ago, that had used it for years like that, and had several bucks follow the scent trail in.

Read a couple of articles this morning about using Pure Vanilla Extract as a scent bomb to cover your scent, don't sound like a bad idea seems to get results. While shopping at Walmart today I bought a small bottle of Watkins going to make me a couple scent bombs and hang by my stand tomorrow morning don't hurt a try .

I have little doubt it can work, but I wouldn’t hang my hat on it. Been years since I tried any. Now there’s a trend towards banning the real stuff to help stop the spread of CWD, and certified CWD-free brands exist apparently. Makes sense as an attractant, but I wouldn’t count on anything ad a real cover. Play the wind….

I blew grunt calls for years and as far as I know only called in one. This year, I blew a few grunts and shook a bush, and in no time had a buck come in all fired up for a fight. He got one…

It’s all fun stuff.

I go back and forth. But mostly in the "no scent" camp. I have for sure had bucks come up to the scent, following the drag rag trail of Tink's. But does really don't like Tink's and the spook from it in my experience.


Camp is where you make it.
