Do a series on testing out horizontal rubs! Never tried it, but many are successful with them. All I know for sure is that you want to use a piney type tree branch/log. They like the stickiness on their antlers.
I guess the deer in my area are different. I see a lot of comments about “de-scenting” and trying to keep deer from smelling the hunter. At my place, they don’t seem to care about human scents. They’ll nibble the straps on my trail cam, come into my yard to eat from the bird feeder, go into my vegetable garden… I think they might come into the house if I left the door open! Maybe they just love the way I smell.
Why would you put estrous on the kicking branch? Typically those are scented from the orbital glands. Doubt many does are urinating up into the licking branch….
Yeah the scents work… I’ve used them many times.. sticking some cotton balls on some limbs.. with tinks 69 works good here in north west Georgia… thanks buddy…
Yes scent control is key. For yourself, to descent everything. And then to better your chances i think its good to use pure doe estrus, or rutting buck scent or calming scent or mock scrape scent.
I just can’t get on the boat with using scent killer or urine… I did try a locally made deer scent this year and black widow with zero results... IMO I just don’t think it’s possible to replicate the real thing…. Awesome video! I would like to see you try other brands like pure whitetail,black widow.. etc but in different locations.
I have used thinks quite a bit. I have witnessed several times, bucks follow my trail in to a stand. I would either spray or drip it on brush as I went to my stand. Watched them sniff around the areas I put it. I’m convinced sents work
I've given up on scents. Nothing seems to work that well. However, back in the 80's, I did experiment with numerous scents and found one that worked...really well. They all say not to put the scent on yourself/boots, but I do 95% of my deer hunting stalking/walking. So, I put some of it on my boots and pant's legs. The first time I used it, I was walking and heard something behind me. It was a young 4 point buck following me. I stopped and turned toward him. He literally walked up to within 6 ft. of me and only ran off when I pointed my finger at him and said "bang". The next time I used it, I had stopped walking and was standing there surveying the area when I spotted a young 6 point coming toward me. he continued to get closer and when he got about 40 yds. away, I attempted to wave him off. He did not run away, but began to circle me as he continued to get closer. I finally got him to leave when I started walking towards him. I used that scent for 2 yrs. and killed four nice bucks while using it. After 2 yrs., I had run out of it and have never been able to find that particular deer scent again. It came in a small orange and white plastic bottle shaped similar to eye drops. If anyone's heard of it, used it, or knows where I can find some, let me know. I can't even find it on line. All I do know is, it worked VERY WELL!
Love these informative videos, I’ve been watching and learning from y’all’s and been getting tons of scrapes action bucks and doe’s hitting them. Enjoyed watching 👍 👍cool to see the bear checking out the camera.
Code blue doe estrus has drawn out se😅bucks that were nocturnal to mock vine scrape and I’ve learned not to over do the scent a dab will do ya type scenario and the synthetic urine is very powerful so over use can actually make a buck overwhelmed and not natural because he’s never smelled a hot doe with the intensity that he is smelling and but him on guard and cause a mature buck to put two & two together after encountering synthetic urine hanging wicks like Christmas 🎄 tree ornaments ! 😂
I use doe scent on my boots and circle my stand at a good bow shot distance and drip a little scent on the back side of trees so when they stop to sniff the hot spot the tree blocks their sight of me! It brings in both bucks and does!
I use scents and have been successful. Deer can tell how fresh all this stuff is and they know its 2 weeks old. Must freshen it up regularly!!!!! Should point out that i wait until the rut is on fire, then use doe in heat scent not scrape scent. I’ve hunted the same spots for 45 years and know the patterns n places so that helps too. I set up scent bombs about 100 to 150 yards away from the scrape line and let the wind do the rest 👍
the scrape dripper has a tiny hole at the end. the material is a selected material that has some elasticity. the sun heats the liquid, as it warms it causes expansion and forces the liquid to come out of the hole making the contents drip. this all cools in the evening and its just enough to stop the drip. not 100% guaranteed day or night. i have made some videos on my channel concerning mock scrapes and how i use them in N.H. including same day proof and a real nice buck i shot using these. (im not trying to promote my channel but some viewers may be able to use/modify some of my experience to be successful) your mock scrapes were too close, almost like grocery shopping. what happens? too many selections, we all have that problem. LOL it actually will confuse deer and could affect your outcome. yes i have pissed in scrapes, made my own mix, take a ziplock baggy with me and when i come across a scrape i steal the dirt and make my own scrape elsewhere. thing is deer need to be there. try to find a good run. spread these different odors far apart. i think you will get more exciting results. good video, i wish i could spend a couple hundred bucks doing an experiment like this. take care. good luck to all 2024
I've discovered over the years that scents are a complete waste of money. If you're hungint over a good scrape you don't need deer lure to get them to come in and use it. They will visit that scrape frequently.
I use Code 3 doe pee as a cover scent walking into the woods and at a mock scrape but thats it. It's been so windy and dry so the leaves are blowing everywhere but the scrape is still visible so I would think something is keeping it fresh looking. I dont think putting all of those together is such a good idea, the deer probably thought there was something wild going on.
It's not hard at all to make a mock scrape. Sometimes I don't even put anything on them. Just find an overhanging branch at the right height, and take my foot and make a scrape. I put one out this year and they are already hitting it. I try to put it near main deer trails só he sees it. I'm sure the scent helps though. Good luck to everyone.
I use scrape fix puffer bottle on the licking branch and pee on the dirt. Had really good success with that combo last two years. Had deer on it within a day or two scent checking it and they eventually just took it over after a week or so.
Handling branches and other things in the woods without gloves unbelievable to me. Where is the scent control? These guys will never see deer in PA leaving their scent on public Land.
I have been hunting whitetail deer for almost 50 years...scent control? Humbug. The scent control industry has been debunked. Their shit doest fvcking do a thing. I shot a nice 8 point buck 5 days into season this year. I piss off of my stand, smoke cigars, fart and don't waste my money on snake oil detergents, sprays, clothing....etc. I do use doe in estrus liquid on wicks and a dripper w a mock scrape. Get over yourself kid, you are barely out of diapers, I've shot more bucks than your years.
Good test liked your video . Maybe spread the items out more in different and distant locations you would see better results. I subscribed so you hooked me . I look got to additional content! Thanks for taking the time!
Placement should have been probably 25yds apart using a couple of cameras to record the "line." Scenting was to strong and un-natural IMHO. I use burn sticks often with good results, but the smokestack must be used so.scent is not to strong.
No scent is the best and there's no way to bottle estrus. Buck will know the difference. Lip curl. Although, curiosity does kill the cat on occasions. Save your money. They will sell it as long as hunters buy it. Fresh scent, tarsal glands from a buck.
You spent alot of damn money that's for sure! I quit buying it when my cameras told me that it just don't work! I have used it all and the deer will hit a natural scrape as fast or faster than using the expensive lures! I get a tube of branch butter to get the scrape started and then just use my pee to keep it going! The deer usually keep it going with minimal effort!
Man putting them all together like that was probably not the best way to do this test. The shear combination of all those strong scents likely spooked off many deer from coming near. Especially big bucks, they are the smart cautious ones and have an uncanny ability to know when things aren't right. They don't get big for no reason. If you could somehow put them a couple of hundred yards apart from each other, and have an individual camera for each one. Also leave them out for around a month. That I think would be much better way to test this. And yeild better results.
Young Man, I like the idea, however, you touching the branches with bare hands did not help. Also, all the scents you tried are synthetic, man made! 1 or two can work but nothing beats a real deer scent. Reach out to the folks who raise real deer, order samples from them, then try again. This time, try placing them about 10 yards apart and make the scrapes a lot bigger and please, de-scent your boots, clothes, etc! I think you will get better results!
Do a series on testing out horizontal rubs! Never tried it, but many are successful with them. All I know for sure is that you want to use a piney type tree branch/log. They like the stickiness on their antlers.
I would watch that! Be interesting
I've only messed with a couple mock scrapes, but I just piss in them myself and have deer hitting them within a couple days.
Same here, the best scrape scent is my piss. Works every time
Coffee piss or beer piss? What works best?
Hold on what?😂😂theres no way you got to be jokin

can you please try out the liquid attractant from tractor supply on some flavorless corn!
Why would you put estrous on the kicking branch? Typically those are scented from the orbital glands. Doubt many does are urinating up into the licking branch….
Right? You don't put tinks die estrous on a licking branch. You could on the scrape I suppose. I would of tried each one in a different location.
Black widow Branch butter works great
Yeah the scents work… I’ve used them many times.. sticking some cotton balls on some limbs.. with tinks 69 works good here in north west Georgia… thanks buddy…

I've had decent luck with the Golden Estrus and the Active Scrape dripper, but never used them at the same time or in the same place

Black Widow XXX….🦌 Hell yes.

Van meter and son's is the best lure! Ole #11 is my favorite. It's a local family and just about everyone in the state uses it with great success.
Special golden estrus for me. Just had one walk right up to it at 10 yards a couple days ago. It's the good shtanky shtanky!
Straight raw love it

I have never had much luck with mock scraps. I can’t remember ever having deer use one I set up

The Magnum wildlife trippers work great with the active scent get big bucks to them every year
What a great video!
I have used buck bomb a few times and I know it does work on younger bucks definitely during early rut.
for best results you should put each one on different scrapes
I use Code 3 doe pee as a cover scent walking into the woods and at a mock scrape but thats it. It's been so windy and dry so the leaves are blowing everywhere but the scrape is still visible so I would think something is keeping it fresh looking.

Cool. Do one with deer decoys.
I use scrape fix puffer bottle on the licking branch and pee on the dirt. Had really good success with that combo last two years. Had deer on it within a day or two scent checking it and they eventually just took it over after a week or so.
you dont put the urine on the licking branch
Handling branches and other things in the woods without gloves unbelievable to me. Where is the scent control? These guys will never see deer in PA leaving their scent on public Land.
And he poured the scent on the licking branches like how does and deer pee on an licking branches 😂

This guy done everything WRONG. AF
🤣🤣🤣🤣

No buckman juice??

One last thought, use a non-flashing camera, it spooks most deer!
Not a Logical test for they are all set together ✅️✅️
Pure Whitetails has the best scents on the market.
Straight ammonia. This is top secret stuff. Pour right onto your boots to.
I have tried several of them with absolutely zero luck
The full concoction might have took you overboard.
No scent is the best and there's no way to bottle estrus. Buck will know the difference. Lip curl. Although, curiosity does kill the cat on occasions. Save your money. They will sell it as long as hunters buy it. Fresh scent, tarsal glands from a buck.
You nailed it you put too many too close together you should have spread them out only one scent in the area and camera for each different area.
You spent alot of damn money that's for sure! I quit buying it when my cameras told me that it just don't work! I have used it all and the deer will hit a natural scrape as fast or faster than using the expensive lures! I get a tube of branch butter to get the scrape started and then just use my pee to keep it going! The deer usually keep it going with minimal effort!
Shot a buck last weekend by just putting it in the scrape about half a bottle he came right to it

A woman’s fresh tampons work best. Probably what you papa used to use the real deal. He looking like kids now a days are so technical!
I've been having good results by adding my own urine, it's cheap and user friendly,lol,also I made my own scrapes and the deer took it over.
I just use Black widow Branch butter on the licking branch and piss on it myself
make your own and piss in it. works. FACT!!
Young Man, I like the idea, however, you touching the branches with bare hands did not help.

I only use wyoming county whitetail deer urine. I do t use that fake synthetic urine
You didn’t set it high enough, and the setup wasn’t natural enough. Deer will scrap at one location all year maybe two but rare.
CODE BLUE DOE ESTRUS
Why are you puting piss way up on the licking branch ? J.w
You set the scents too close together.
i make my own scrapes and pee in them. it does work.
The scents are way to close to each other.
Not a good test on sent ! Move 2 + acres apart and light sent it ! It will travel in the wind 👎
So what one did the buck interact with??
Too many scents in one place.
I would guess to much scent in one area
