    I tried it last year and had zero luck with it. I used it in several mock scrapes and put cameras over them to monitor activity and over a 3-4 day span maybe one deer visited it.

    That being said Tink's has always made quality products and I was a bit surprised that I had zero luck with it.

    I used to use the Hawg Limited synthetic scent and it seemed the bucks would really tear up the scrapes that I used the forehead gland on. I think I'll stick with that.

    Total crap, I didn't get any results, and I live next door to 80 acres of deer bedding area.

    I like the James Valley Scent products for scrapes. It's the only scent I ever use for deer hunting.

    i used the tinks last week, went back and check it and the scrap seems like be messed with, maybe a little larger..i know i have alot of deer on my trail camera..its about 20 yards down from my camera...i made a few scrapes..i know its early, but i think i like this product and probably will continue to use it.

    I've used the stuff for 2 years now.. so I know a bit about this stuff.

    First.. location is key.. NO matter what you use.

    Second.. with the Tink's formula you really got to lay it on.. I'm talking 1 bottle is like 3 maybe 4 visits worth at most.

    The more you spray the better.. and persistence is key. Spray.. spray.. spray. Don't be afraid to lay it on thick as you can't overspray with this stuff.

    I used it last year and I didn't have any luck with it in two different mock scrapes. I freshened up the scrapes every weekend without any activity. Not saying it doesn't work, but you have to have ideal conditions for best results. Meaning a decent amount of bucks in the area that are territorial. Where I used it there isn't many bucks and they were not very territorial. With where I hunt now I'm wondering if it will work better. I used Active Scrape this year and I had quite a few different bucks using it. I'm going to try some Tinks products in my mock scrapes next season to test my theory.

    I used Power Scrape on all of my mock scrapes this year and had alot of different bucks hitting it. I will definetly be using it again next year. I got more videos on the cameras on the scrapes than I have in the past.

    I made two Mock scrapes this year. I used the power scrape and had Bucks hitting on one of them. The other was in a not so good of a location!
