| A few weeks ago there was a show on scents and they especially singled
out Tinks. They said it was a fraud. The reason being was they needed
over 360 deer in rut every day to be able to produce all the scent
that they make. Come to find out they only have 30 on their farm.
But they also talked alot about the other scents. If there was a
scent to be trusted I would go with Foggy Mountain. I think they
are a more reputable business than Tinks. Just my $.02.

| I just thought thgat I would add that I think all of them are not
really very reliable. When deer are in rut maybe they may work but
if the rut ends I don't think they would make any difference. I
myself would not waste my money on the stuff.
Just my $.02 again

| 554.3 | THE MOST EXPENSIVE SCENT ON THE MARKET | MTADMS::GEIBEL | | Fri Nov 17 1989 08:52 | 28 |

I just wanted to add that I totaly agree that if the deer arent
in rut then a doe in heat scent is useless and the deer know when
the breeding season is in full bore.
I have used TINKS for 13 years and have shot several bucks over
the 35MM film container with it (TINK) in it, I have even had bucks roll
the container around with their noses BUT you have to be awfull
carefull where you set the scent and when you set it, EX; if you
have been seeing does from your stand and the rutting season has
started I would be very carefull with setting the scent out since
if a doe isnt ready to breed and she smells that she is going to
bolt and if there was a buck there he wont stick around.
I have the best luck early in the evening with using scent since
the thermal currents hold the scent down and allways pay close
attention on the down wind side of your stand but I have also seen
a mature buck circle the scented area also to find the doe.
With all the scents I have seen used I owuld have to say TINKS
is # 1 in my book the only draw back is the price and listening
to the wife when she opens one of the film containers......ooooooh
that stuff is nasty.......but honey it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOOD LUCK

| 554.4 | I think all scents are bogus | HDSRUS::MILLS | | Mon Nov 20 1989 10:27 | 2 |
| I think "69" is good only if the buck is interested in oral sex.
|
| 554.5 | that was a good one | MTADMS::GEIBEL | | Mon Nov 20 1989 11:26 | 15 |
| RE .4
That was a good one, but as far as Im concerned I dont care
what he is interested in as long as he's not interested in where
my stand is.
From experience #69 works great...

a couple of weeks ago on tv, i saw one of those hunting shows and
they performed an experiment about scents.
they dumped a bottle of aqua velvet aftershave, moved over about
15 yards dumped some ammonia, ( scents are ammonia based i think
they said ) moved over another 15 yard and dumped a bottle of
human urine. ( thats right. human urine)
anyway they watched from a blind, they showed the does were restless
and snorting and moving away, however the bucks were drawn over
to the area of the scents.
guess what, they went directly over to the human urine.
and started tasting it, ( the narator explained that the deer has
to taste the urine to find some chemical that identifies as doe
urine)
there were about 3 bucks checking it out.
so save your money, either drink alot of fluids the nite before
of pee in a bottle and bring it with you.

ps, what the hell its a cheap theory to check out

Last week when a bunch of us were hunting New Brunswick,Canada the
guide told us one of the hunters was using Tinks and a real nice
10 pointer came in on the scent with its nostrils flared and mouth
open. The buck was shot 19 paces from the stand.

| 554.10 | One got away because of Tinks | MLFS1::BERKELEY | | Tue Nov 21 1989 15:02 | 11 |

Well one got away. I had just taken my stand when I decided to use my
Tinks. I walked over to two areas to put the canisters down and as I
was walking back to my stand, out of the corner of my eye I saw a deer
duck down and go behind the ridge.
If I had just stayed on my stand 2 minutes longer I would have had one.
I think that once you are on your stand stay put.
OH well!!!!
