I
have a good and bad story from last year's hunt. On opening day of
hunting, I was in my stand early in the p.m. and sprayed all the scrapes
around my Imperial Clover plot. I also gave a few sprays into the
air as I sat in my stand. About an hour before dark, I saw a buck
entering my field from the northwest. When I brought my field
glasses up to take a look there was a much, much larger buck rubbing his
antlers on the willow branches in the background. I settled my
.270 on the window sill and patiently waited for them to move closer.
I have pictures of this large buck on my game cam from 2 weeks earlier.
They approached the clover and the smaller buck eagerly started on the
food plot while the bigger buck stood 50 - 60 yards from my stand and
surveyed the area, and kept a close eye on my stand. His body was
facing directly at me so I had to wait, what seemed forever, for him to
turn broadside. Finally he slowly started to turn to walk away.
So I Shot!
BANG!
He dropped and the smaller buck ran off in the same direction they came
from. I was very excited. He dropped behind a small clump of
willows that I had cut down by hand so I held my gun on him for several
minutes. After he lay motionless for 8 - 10 minutes I started to
look around for any does that might move in. Then, all of a
sudden, I heard a noise. I look and he's up and running away.
He made it 40 yards to the edge of the willows and I got one shot.
After dark I went over to look and all we found were a few specks of
blood where he entered the willows. There wasn't even blood where
he had lain. I was in shock!! I went the entire next week
without seeing a deer until the second Monday (TB area). I got out
of my stand on Monday morning and walked the edge of the woods by my
other stand, which is closer to our cabin where we have soybeans for
food plots. There were several fresh scrapes on the east end of
the field. So, early in the p.m. I sprayed the scrapes and hung
some scent wicks (women's personal products w/the string). I
returned around
I believe your product did work for me and look
forward to next year. Oh, and I also shot a small 8 pointer and a
doe during the muzzle loader season. James Whitlow
I put the scent down on the scrape like you said.
The buck came in about
good hit for there was blood and everything. Your product worked
just like you said. I have hunted for four years and have gotten
does or button bucks so that is the first buck that has come into range.
Thanks for the advice and I am going to try it again this weekend in a
new spot.
