OK, I haven't searched to see if the question has been asked but.....

what do y'all use for buck lure (personal opinions requested) be it Tinks, Code Blue or whatnot. What have you had luck with, and how did you put it out? I have next to ne experience using it, but with the rut coming, I want to give it a whirl and the clowns on TV just try to sell you stuff so I take them with a grain of salt.

    Tinks is good BUT plain ole fox urine works better than many think. Have had deer paw at trap sets baited with fox urine.

    I use "Special Golden Estrous" and have had good results. This season
    I bought "Still Steamin" doe estrous urine to make "mock scrapes" with. Not sure how well it will work, but plan on giving it a try.

    Good luck. Don

    Never needed it.

    I've had good luck with Code Blue and doe, I would put it in little containers and use them as yardage markers while bow hunting. Killed a few doe that stuck thier nose up to the little orange container. Never had any luck with the bucks coming into any scent, rattling, grunts and earth smelling cover scent always worked for them.

    I put scent about 5-7 feet up in a bush. Seemed logical to me, so it spreads as far as possible as quickly as possible.

    I've used Nuoc Mam to cover my scent and also to draw in Fox. To my surprise an amazing number of Deer are drawn to it, maybe curiosity, maybe something else. One of the nicest Bucks I've ever seen around here walked up to a bush I'd sprinkled with Nuoc Mam and actually stood up on his hind legs to get a good whiff. Whether Nuoc Mam actually draws them or not, it is pretty apparent they don't associate the smell with danger and the stuff is strong enough to mask most any scent.

    We call it shake N' bake.[:I]

    I've searched the web and can't find a dang thing about it's name.

    Any way, 1. I buy a bottle of VS1 or Special Golden Estrus.(1oz)

    2. Buy a bottle of this stuff that looks like small rock salt (4oz)(It comes in a bottle that looks exactly like a bottle of Mortons season all salt)

    You add half the bottle of estrus to the granual bottle and shake. The granuals are an all natural product that absorbs the high dollar urine and makes it 8 times greater in it's use.(4oz granual to 1/2 bottle urine) You will buy 2 shake bottles to use up the urine.

    I use it to shake a trail when I get about 100yrd from my tree when I walk in. I go past my tree about 20yrd and double back to the tree and leave a good (pile) at the end of the trail.

    They seem to be able to smell headlights.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Whatever kind you get make sure you have enough to pour a liberal amount all over your body!
    Although always described as a cowboy, Roswellnative generally acts as a righter of wrongs or bodyguard of some sort, where he excels thanks to his resourcefulness and incredible gun prowesses.

    I stop and pee on the scrapes. Makes the buck madder than a wet hen.

    I found attractants great for the sellers profit margin but not as good as just spending TIME in the woods waiting for a deer to walk by.

    I've heard from folks that stopping to pee can get a buck curious, and come to investigate but never tried it. Worth a shot, plus it keeps me from holding it til I get back to camp [:D]

    Although many folks use buck lure,I have never had much faith in it.What has always worked well for me is being in the right place at the right time.Every time i have done that,i have been successfull.
