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 2:30 and got settled in for a hopeful afternoon.  About 3:30 a small 6 point buck entered my field from the south and had only the intention of feeding from the soybeans.  About 45 minutes from dark I saw a deer down the trail directly east of my stand (100 - 125 yards).  He was standing with his nose in the air and I knew what he was after.  He proudly marched westward to my opening, keeping his nose in the air.  Although he wasn't as big as the buck in the previous story, he was a nice buck.  I have pictures of this one on my game cam from late September.  As he exited the trail to enter my field, he stood perfectly broadside at 50 yards.  (About the same distance as the last episode.)  So I shot!  BANG!!  Down he went!  And without hesitating, I fired two more shots between his shoulders as he lay with his legs pointing at my stand.  THIS GUY WAS NOT GETTING AWAY.  He is currently getting mounted.  :-)

 

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

 

The one that got away!

I put the scent down on the scrape like you said.  The buck came in about 6:30 pm and sniffed the scrape and then sniffed the air. I also put some closer to my ground blind and he came right up there.  I got a shot at him and hit him, but when we tracked him we could not find him.  It was a
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.
