Man, that product is so freakin stupid! LOL!! Was it designed to keep acorns fresh or to alleviate deer neck strain?

Cough Silencer! I was amazed how many of these things sold the first few years they were out. Kinda died down now. I just cough in my sleeve or a hanky and it works fine.

alot of the stuff is just stuff. i have use the doe in heat bleat deal in the can years ago. i was hunting in a stand on a fence line. my stand was about 30 ft from the fence back on our place. i would use the bleat about every ten minutes or so. after about 30 minutes or so i noticed birds across the fence flying up. i sit tight and did it a few more times and more birds was flying out closer. after a few minutes i spotted my pray comming seen his legs. i slid down lower in the stand was peaking out a crack in the stand watching. the feller was cammo from head to toe stalking real slow. when he got to the fence row he took three long strides stepped out in the fence ride away with back towards me looking harder then hard. i bumped the bleat once more he swung around was looking harder then hard back towards me. then he noticed the stand i raised up and waved at him he waved back an left real fast as if he was embarrassed tickled the heck out of me. i have to give it to him tho for a feller doing the stalking he was doing he had his gun strapped over his shoulder.
far as the tinks 69 doe in heat goes i have killed two buck with it. my brother killed a nice 8 point useing it. he called me i came to where he was to see the deer. i told him load the deer and let me borrow his gun. 30 minutes later i killed a nice 7 point out the same stand with same gun. the buck i killed this year i used a cheaper version of doe in heat stuff from Wal Mart. just a note it had been watered down 4 times. far as how to use the stuff we dont follow directions very well. we open the bottle take the cap off hang it in a tree with a string. when we get ready to go we put the cap back on the bottle and next time we come back to hunt we take the cap off. i started useing the stuff in the spray bottle. i spray fence post with it trees etc i will saturate a cedar tree with the stuff. the spray stuff is what i used this year and when the bottle got low i watered it down. when it loses its smell i add some more stinky stuff to it.
i will say the doe in heat urine works. it just depends on the wind need a light breeze to spread the smell. as for the scent cover etc i dont worry with them. as for getting cammoed up is not for me. the main thing is sitting still if no stand is available sit still in a thick bush or clump of trees,weeds,grass etc. i myself like a stand on the ground i have seen alot of deer shy off from people in tree stands or tripods etc because the deer can see then from a distance in a tree stand or tripod.

I think one of the worst I have seen was an ad for the "Deer View Mirror"...it was a rear view mirror you could mount to a tree you had your treestand in to see deer coming in from behind you. Or you could just have some awareness of your surroundings....

The best I have seen was at a small feed store in a heavily hunted area.
They had 2 pallets of corn. One labeled " Buck Corn " and the other " Doe corn " Buck corn was $2 higher and they told me they sold it about 3 to 1 to doe corn.

I use the scent eliminator sprays all the time now. I will admit I thought it was a gimmick at first, but since using it, I have seen more deer each time I go out. Perhaps its a gimmick still, and maybe I'm hunting harder, but I'll spend the $15 at Wally World for a bottle of spray every season now.
