I'am not one for scents on deer, trapping is another story. This buck bomb thing looks like a scam to me, different areas get different amounts,that already stinks. Tinks was busted in the early 70's it was doe pee alright from a doe rabbit, field/stream did that artical. Unless you kill a doe in heat and you drain her urine track I don't think you have much out of a can or bottle, just my thoughts. MY RIDE IS HERE GOING IN THE WOODS,GOOD LUCKTO THOSE HUNTING TODAY :)

ok, i went to 2 differant walmarts this morning. one had the 3 oz cans for 8.97 the other one had 5 oz cans for 10.97 i bought one for 10.97. got home and looked at the bar codes and they are the same. i am taking the 3 oz can back for a refund with the receipt for the can i bought this morning and then buying another 5 oz can. they all were sealed. so for $2.00 more you can almost get twice as much if you look at the contents. hope this helps.

I will be checking more carefully from now on. Might even ask some hard questions at the places I bought them from.

I ventured out to Triggers and Bows this week and they had received a shipment in and they are sending them back. When they weighed them the weights were all over the map???

It was likely Julie you were talking to, I brought the seal issue up with her a couple weeks ago, she called her supplier while I was there and they (suppliers) are the ones who said the guys must be spraying it around in the warehouse.
Thier last shipment came with 2 scents, the dominant buck cans were sealed, the Doe estrus were not, they are also the ones with the variances in content. I had her hold me a couple cans of the estrus before she sends it back anyways, I would rather have a partial can than none at all.

I was offered the unsealed cans being returned but declined....I did pick up the pure Doe in Heat they had and thought I would give it a try~! :wink:

I bought mine at a Local Gander Mountain. I went for a can in the back and right away noticed it felt heavier than some in the front. Then I also noticed some of the seals missing. I bought one in the back of the stack with a seal on it. I did not know about the 3 or 5 oz. thing then. I know for a fact that the kids who work there do dispell the scents in the store as I have witnessed it many times when they are trying to make a sale.

Now for the report. I have used mine sparingly on some hunts for 2 weeks now. I can say it definately works. Two Saturdays in a row I had bucks come up to my scent pad on a rail and stick around for awhile, just not the size Buck I was looking for, all yearlings.
