    Anyone out there using EverCalm? I gave it a try last weekend (killed a doe but it wasnt anywhere near where I used it). But who has used it and has had luck? Ive read good reviews about it but id like to hear what you guys have to say!

    I used it for the first time on Wednesday. I put it on a few trees around my stand, but I also put it on the base of the tree that I was sitting in. I had 2 does, and 2 fawns come right up on me from down wind right after shooting light. Now they didn't smell the trees around my stand, but they came right under my stand and sniffed the tree I was sitting in. Both does looked up at me, but they never got alarmed, just smelled around and continued on their way. If there would have been a little more light, one of them would be in my freezer right now. That was enough to make me believe that there is something to this product. I will definitely be using it for the remainder of the season.

    I use it and really like it. It does seem to keep deer calm. I've not really had any stories develop with it this year but I've barely been out hunting so far this year. I have had several deer cross my in trails and smell it and stay calm. One doe did get a bit nervous but I was wearing my old leather work boots and I expect even the evercalm was severely challenged to keep that situation contained, lol.

    I put it on my boots when I walk in and I had a few does and spikes cross my path last week and they didn't spook.

    I also had it on a few trees where I shot a doe last week and she and the spike she was with seemed to be drawn to that area. After I shot the doe the spike ran off and then came back to the area that I had the evercalm rubed on. I thought he was going to bed down but I didn't give him the chance because I was ready to get down and get the doe.

    I put it on my boots when I walk in. And a small dab on the base of my tree. I have had many deer this year cross my path or be at the base of my tree calm as can be. Heck I've had 3 deer bed down under my tree this year already.

    It is the only scent product I've used that I have actually seen work.

    I like it. I don't use it every time as with most things. When I put it on my boots its nice that it helps mask your footsteps in but I've also had deer smell right up at me when they come under my stand. They didn't spook but it makes me uneasy.

    I have used it this year and have definitely noticed a difference when using it!! The deer seem to be really relaxed and easy when I use it. It definitely makes a difference!!

    last week i hunted a stand and had some deer circle around me and eventually come across my path in. they went crazy and started blowing. i hunted a different stand Saturday and used evercalm on my boots walking in since i had to walk the edge of the food plot to get to my stand. well i had a bob cat and a doe come in and cross my path i walked in on and never spooked or anything.

    You can order it on Amazon, where I get 99% of my hunting stuff, works great. I agree with Todd Graff's fun facts, :lol:.
