Message: <blockquote data-quote="Duckslayer100" data-source="post: 236068" data-attributes="member: 1485">I've successfully implemented scents twice. The first was when I first started hunting in Fergus Falls at the farm. My grandpa got this spray from a local guy called "Tanks" and he sprayed it all over near where I was sitting. Myself being young and bored, only hunted a couple hours before cold got the best of me. When we came back, right where I was sitting on the ground were fresh deer tracks.The other time was a couple years ago. I was bow hunting in a classic funnel spot. The wind was wrong for how I wanted to sit (out of the west) so I walked through the spot and hung a stick dipped in scent at the spot I usually camp out at. I then walked further down, across the trail, and sat facing the opposite direction. A buck came in and started working a scrape to my left. He then moseyed down the trail, roughly 10 yards from me (I was on the ground in blaze orange plain as day sitting on a stool, trying not to breath) and stopped. His head snapped to the left as soon as he came downwind of that stick. Broadside. 10 yards. Attention 100 percent not on me. Drew. Held. Shot. And promptly pulled it behind my point of aim. Wound up tracking that deer for hours and never did find it even though the arrow passed through and had blood. I'm pretty sure I hit liver and that deer died somewhere, but I certainly don't know where. Still bums me out to this day. I took the rest of that year and the next year off bow hunting until I finally got the stomach to try again. And I haven't connected on a deer since! Bad karma, maybe??</blockquote>
