Whitetail hunting...what rut scents have been most reliable in your experience? I tend to go with Tink's 69 but cannot say that I have had definite results.

I used to have good results with 69 before they changed the formula. I have not had a buck come to Tinks in about 8 years.
I switched over to Golden Estrus as it smells like the old Tinks 69 to me. I've about given up on the stuff. In the 90s and early 2000s we killed several nice bucks on Tinks 69. I've had them come right to it on a string several times. About the time they switched to the plastic bottles, it quit working for me. The old glass bottle 69 would evacuate the camp when someone popped a lid. You can put your nose right on the bottle with this watered down plastic bottle crap they've been selling lately. I emailed them about it a few years back and they insisted to send all kinds of crap to me for free. Still doesn't work.

I still use tink's 69 and it still works for me. The does don't like it, if you want to see a bunch of deer, it may not be what you're looking for.
Camp is where you make it.

I am also a fan of tinks 69,it works GOOD!But I like the value of buck bomb doe estrus better.You simply get more and it's easy to walk in and spray a few trees with it as you walk in to your stand.I shot two bucks last year with this stuff.As long as it's 100% pure estrus it WILL bring in rutting bucks.Pre rut season I like the wild life research trails end #307.Had a 4 pointer come in for it this Tues.He busted me as I pulled my bow back.There where a few cedar branches between us,so I passed on the shot.
