    Hottest selling item in our store during deer season . I've had great results with it . Not only are deer less likely to be alerted if they get downwind but I have had bucks try to locate me .

    I have used deer herd and it smells just like deer. I used it as a cover scent!

    I have used it and it worked well. I get good results by rubbing it on saplings and leaves at the base of my tree.

    I have read a few reviews that say it has spooked the deer that they know somethings not right, that something doesn't belong. anybody see anything like this.

    I've used it and cannot comment one way or the other, but it does smell like deer.

    It has to be the worst smelling deodorant I have ever used.

    I swear by it. Used it last year, wearing normal hunting boots (non rubber). I rub it on my boots and had multiple deer hit my track but instead of freaking out they did indeed stay calm. Their curiosity was piqued but in a good way, the ones near enough to me served up plenty of open shot opportunities and the ones too far away just calmly went on their way. Can't say enough good things about it.

    used it two years ago, only tired it a few times, the matures does would lock up on it and get all nervous. 1 1/2 yr old bucks always found it interesting. the older deer were a little Leary. won't buy it again, but others swear by it so you never know it might work well for you

    Had the opposite effect on the mature does here in Minnesota. Had numerous mature does follow my scent trail with their nose to the ground before I took a mature 150lb doe in October.

    Can't speak for how it affects bucks as I've never had one come in using it.

    I will try it again this year.

    I've never used it but plan to this year, how many hunts does one stick provide. I'd like to know so I can stock up for the year if I find a good price.

    Same results for me. I LOVE this stuff! Shot two deer straight down wind of me and neither was the slightest bit on edge

    I used it for the first time last year, didn't really notice any out of the ordinary behavior. I will try it again this year since it didn't seem to have any negative effects.

    A good way to test it....put it on or around your trail cam...I bet youll get some closeups!! I have never used that product specifically but as i understand it is similar to a product that I swear by...its called Buck Butter from Lowes Whitetail Scents. By far the single best deer lure/attractant I have ever used.

    I used it last year and was very pleased with how it worked. Had a couple does cross my entrance trail and followed right along with it. I will be getting another stick very soon before this season.

    I'm glad it has good reviews wanted to use this for a few years now but weary on buying it. I am going to buy some this weekend.

    I use it, but I try not to use it too much as I've yet to see truly a mature buck interact with it directly...many subordinate bucks and younger does don't seem to mind it...mature does have been beat with it as well.

    I used it last year for the first time and I can't comment one way or another. I mostly used it at the base of trees where I was putting a mock scrape. It is a long lasting scent so I'm sure it helped getting deer to a new mock location, but I have no proof. Deer did seem to use the mock scrape so I can't say that it hurt...
