Default H.S Doe Estorus Scent Wafer...your thoughts

Man...I seen a lot of people using them on t.v so I had to get them....man do they work!! It was the first time I has a 150+ buck within 30yds!!

You pin them to your hat with a pin, silly...Of course, if you do you're a bolder man than I'll ever be, I wouldn't want to be at ground zero when a horny buck comes to the scent.

Never had any luck with them when I tried them last year, but I'll give them another try this year.

I'd hang them on your stand, pack, or tree. I wouldn't want it pinned anywhere on my body.

Don't hang them on your hat. Hang them in a nearby tree around your stand. I use these and they helped me get my nicest buck to date 4 seasons ago.

the hs scent wafer in the doe estrus does not come close to replicating
what you get in a bottle. if you read the posts on the forum in regards
to the product, there arent many success stories. who is better to test
these products, but US. i have used the wafers...nothing...i have used MRS DOE PEE..
that is a good product. i have a can of the ESTRUS WAFERS..IF U think that
it is a good product i will send it to u...i will never use them again...they simply
do not work...if they did, wouldnt people use over mock scrapes?? the peoduct
is one of the many that are on the market that are totally HIT and mostly miss.
read my post on SIMPLe household vanilla?? humm

I beg to differ. I can take pictures of the buck I took that came and hit DIRECTLY on the Doe Estrous wafer that I had sitting in a tree 20 yards away. He went right up to it from downwind. Now I'm not saying that they work all of the time, but seeing as I took a decent 10-point while using these, I have proof that they worked that day. This buck was also taken during the rut in November.

When it comes to what you want to use, it is ultimately up to you. Some like one thing while others don't. To each their own.

Well Todd, on that one occasion, I do in fact thing it did. Now keep in mind this was 4 years ago, but as we all know, hunts like these stay with us forever.

It was a somewhat windy day and I had no other scent out. I had 2 wafers out and when the buck came in, he walked right up to the wafer to my left and sniffed it. Now from what I saw, I do think that was what attracted him seeing as he walked right up to it.

Now I'm not going to sit here and say they work 100%. Not by any means. I have used them since and off the top of my head, have had no other instances like the one four years ago. Call it luck that day in November, but I can say that on that day, that was indeed what the buck hit on.

I'm not a big scent person as the only true luck I've had with scents was on that one day. So do I think they work... on that day... for sure. Will they work everytime... not at all.

I'm not trying to sway anyone here. Just didn't want you to write them off 100% ya know? I'm only trying to give another side of the opinion from my one major experience. Like I said, I've been bowhunting for about 12-13 years and have never had much success using scents minus that one buck.
