Synthetic Deer Scents – Do they work?

I am a believer in the use of scents especially estrous scents for use during the rut. That said,  I also feel responsible to help prevent CWD. Many conservation minded hunters feel the same way.

For a long time now, the doe pee industry has been working on synthetic scents that mimic doe estrous urine, yet have no CWD issues as they are not urine based. 

And I believe these non-urine synthetic scents have come a long way and today, are field proven.

Large on-line retailers have a rating system that I personally use to determine customer experience. Some research on your part can put you onto some of the best synthetic attractants on the market today and help to prevent Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD).

Here is the greatest thing about a synthetic lure, they don’t spoil over time. You can use it again next season and the season after!

My favorite synthetic lure manufacturers are:

Tink’s

Wildlife Research

Code Blue

Outdoor Hunting Lab

Pete Rickard’s Indian Buck Lure (no deer urine used)  natural formula. 

So go on line and read the reviews and try these lures today. I like those that spray a fine mist. 

Good Hunting!
