Scents?

[Bo Mac]

Anyone ever use scents when they hunt? Sow in Heat or Boar scent?

Great question! I have used "TuffTusk' froma Razorback Outfitters the owner claims great things for this scent that smells like sourmash corn which you do not want to get it on your cloths or skin! I was hunting on Cummings ranch and I had a pig get within 30 yards of me (I didn't have my rifle ready to bad and so sad) I had one young doe get real close tpo me. I have used Tuff tusk with out seeing any pigs . I figure it can't hurt has a cover scent and it might work for bear. I can't see deer geting spocked by pig esturus because in Cal and many other states pigs and deer have lived together for a long time. i don't think deer fear pigs although maybe big boars eat fawns? Well I do go on .

I'm going to be trying some "Tuff Tusk" here pretty soon. I got a free bottle of it in the mail the other day.

Been hunting javelina every year since 1989 and and all I use is "dirt" scent spray from Hunter Specialties and Scent Killer. My friends and I think it helps-but it is still best to keep the wind right.

I seem to find the little buggars in poison oak all the time eating it and they invariably seem to dia in a patch of it. Maybe that's the trick, roll around in a patch of PO to smell like it and the hogs will come a runnin

Always wary of using scents. I'm afraid my quarry may try to mount me (lol).

Last weekend my buddy & I were calling coyotes and I brought along some "coyote urine" it sure smelled like urine! Now did it help me get that song dog I don't know but it sure did not hurt. By the way I sprayed a little on the bushes near us as suggested by an article in Predator Xtreme mag., rather than putting the stuff on our clothing.

I used some hog wild berry scent stuff We found on the ranch. Poured in the wallow just like it said. went back a week later. No pigs just BEAR tracks. So if you use scents watch you're back. Might bring in someone else lol.

Hey
Where did you get your free Tuff Tusk from?
Did you e-mail them for a free Tuff Tusk at the company?

No, I sent them a picture of a pig I shot, and they sent the Tuff Tusk to me.
