Edit: Should say doe in heat in thread title.

Is this tinks 69 rut spray worth a crap or just a gimmick? I was going to get a small bottle and put some on a cloth and throw it in a tree or some scrub brush near my feeder to see if it brings in some new bucks. Our place is narrow and this north wind coming in should help me out.

Any thoughts?

I hunt south Texas on property with a high buck to doe ratio, never had any luck using it like you are talking about. Mostly just use it when rattling.

I'll probably rattle too, gonna be in the blind all Sunday.

Tinks has been around as long as I've been hunting, so it's gotta work at least decently. We used it when we were kids, but we were mostly stalk hunting and used it to cover our scent. No scientific evidence on how well it works, but we were able to get real close to a lot of deer. I mainly sit in a stand with a rifle now so it's not as big of a deal.

My wife makes scented candles and I convinced her to make some with tinks as gag gifts.

Freaking awesome.

Anyway

I have had luck with that Golden Estrus the last 3 seasons. Not sure the manufacturer.

I had some moderate success with Buck Bomb Doe Estrus

Estrus today in the cold and brought in two new bucks, rattled about 15 min after pee and bucks came in with the normal doe flock. Too bad they were a bit young to shoot.

I've been told that the actual attracting chemical in urine from a doe in heat is highly volatile and impossible to really preserve.
