The conversation also included scents & lures for fox,coyote & raccoon trapping as well. Deer scent usage Typesbr Cover scents These are scents that help hide the human or unwanted odors They do not take away. Most often, they are natural smells pine, cedar, and earth. Also may be of urine blends such as doe, Fox, raccoon. There are other smells that also fall into this form that are food such as grape, apple when used in heavy concentrations Skunk can be both negative and positive in this case. How to use Most often cover scents such as the pine cedar earth are used on clothes or hung on rags off the close also stored with the clothes when not in use. Food types should be used in heavy concentrations on each side and down wind of the stand or hunter. Doe, fox, raccoon urine can be sprayed on boots or drag place on each side and down wind of hunter or stand with exception of doe urine should be just each side. Caution with doe urines in bear cat and wolf country. All of these scents can be misted also Eliminators These are compounds that help in dissolving unwanted odors. They can be Baking soda compounds or bio formulas, charcoal is also an odor control product How to use On clothes or store with clothes Calming agents These scents and compounds cause the deer to stay at an ease state of mind. Doe urine is a prime example. Along with the fox and raccoon urines. How to use Best to place on trail by boots or drag to keep deer calm also misting doe urine helps deer to think all is ok Attractants Odors and compounds that is appealing or inviting to the deer. It can be food, curiosity, territorial, or a non treating unfamiliar. Most of these are going to be short distance calls and hold limited time frames, they are mainly used as a position scent. 10 to 60 seconds for a shot or to stop them to test the wind. Non aggressive, deer smells fall into this form such as doe urine. There are some secret compounds that are power calls use in formulation for deer scents which adds call and stay power. How to use Place on a removal rag or holder 2 to 6 feet off the ground depending on wind force. Place out to each side of stand on the up wind right and left of stand in the place for a standing shot. Never place directly up wind or down wind of hunter or stand. Never leave out when not there. Sex These are matrix or heat smells always from the doe! How to use The best way is to trail then hang. Hang on a j hook trail to the up wind side of the stand or hunter. Also, should be on each side of the stand never down wind or straight up wind of the hunter or stand hang where standing shot can be had. Dominate or rut These are the buck smells and most of the time negative or aggressive. Dominate smells will scare young and sub dominate young bucks. Does not in heat or have been breed will also stay away from these smells. However, can add for some exciting hunts when 2 big boys come in. How to use Make mock scraps or hang as you would an attractant. Never put on your persons in the rut!!! Closing Many scents and odors fall into 2 or 3 categories. Our TC 3 and TC Plus is an example of this it is a attractant, trail cover, cover and all season call scent. Scents work all year but will work better in certain times of the season For scents to work the hunter must have a understand of the scents and what they can really do not what he or she thinks they will do based on habits and behavior of the deer they are after. Pressured deer will be harder to call with scents than non-pressured deer. When using any scent such as food, sex, or curiosity extreme caution should be use when putting on boots and never on clothes unless the hunter wants to add excitement of be eaten or butt kicked by a deer ,Bear, moose cat, wolf or big foot!
