Funny, it reminded me of the camel jockeys method for birth control. You remember? Run up behind the camel with a brick in each hand an smash his nuts. And the fellow asked, but doesn't that hurt, to which the other replied, "only if your thumbs get in the way".

I think I can wait till end of season and buy my supply of Hawgs Synthetic deer sent. Much easier. This Frankenstien lure sounds great for the do it yourselfer.

I know what your talking about jh45gun, I saw that same show here on WILD T.V. In fact I saw it severals times that same week.

I've never tried it, but I did write it down, so then this fall when I shoot a buck, I'll keep the testicles.

The guy claims its better than the stuff you buy and last's a lot longer.

Problem is..... it won't be ready till next years hunting.

Hope someone don't think it's booze and try to drink it...

I think I'll stick to the trusty Code Blue Product...

It's expensive, but it's the real thing and I know it works.

If you are a drinking man, drink the Vodka. There's no need to waste good ethanol that way. For a lot cheaper price, and the same effect, use some alcohol based gas line antifreeze. All that the ethanol does is act as a carrier for the scent. As it evaporates, it carries the scent. That's why perfume has a large alcohol content, although because perfume is used by humans, it contains only ethanol. You aren't going to be giving it to the deer to drink, so you won't poison the deer.

Isopropanol or methyl hydrate would work the same and cost much less.

"Cheers," with your vodka!!!

If the rut is not engaged I use pure vanilla extract (not the imitation stuff) which is as expensive as store bought doe in heat. I've had very good luck using vanilla extract over the years. I've had deer come into my area and go straight to it many times. It gives me enough time to get a shot off.

I always place scent crosswind from me in order to create a diversion away from me.

I grew up in Arizona, where I've known a good many Canadians as winter visitors. I think I was in my late twenties before I ment one that was below 70. My point in saying this is, if you know anyone that snowbirds it for the winter ask them to go to Mexico and pick you up a two liter bottle. They only cost a couple of dollars for vanilla across the border.

Hey Farmer do you buy that Hawgs Unlimited in Canada or do you get it from the states? I was going to buy some a couple of years ago but they said they aren't shipping to Canada. The last time I checked their web site it was down. TC

I pick up Hawgs in the states I am only about 30 or 40 minutes from Detroit. Meijers, Gander mountain and Bass Pro are only another 20 to 30 minutes.
