There was a pile of data on these here last year. Some hate, some love..Go figure.
I use it on my boots too, it makes a great cover smell. My theory is that you can't fool a deers nose but you can keep him interested.

For those that hate it makes the ones who love it happier . Less competition for buying it .

Ive used it. I think its at least as good as the other types of scent. I like B.B because it atomizes, and carries farther faster. (just my opinion) I have had deer come to it. Ive also had no deer come to it.

Last year some say it was just the Bomb and others say it was the Bomb of the year. I used it sparingly and I saw nothing that day. I'll use it again this year just because it smelled so good.
I think it was Rich who had to test it in the car with his wife in it, just after purchase. Probably don't follow Rich's antics if I were you.

Now thats a Hunters New Car Smell!!

I had a bottle of Doe estrous spill out in my pocket once, wife came to get me, man did I hear about it.

Smell didn't leave her Explorer for quite a while.

But my Camo suit smelled just right.

John, I can relate to your situation. As a trapper I often used to carry multiple animal attractant in my 4 X 4 while I am going from the city to my trap line. I guess one cold winter day one of the bottles of green beaver attractant slipped out of my pocket down beside the drivers seat. Months passed and summer arrived.

One hot day while the truck was parked for many hours at the mall I guess the bottle exploded. My wife and I got into the truck and both of us almost hurled.

I tried many things to remove the smell including replacing the whole floor mat but nothing worked. I think it crept into the metal some how.

I traded the truck about 4 months later on a new truck and the salesman asked me what that pungent smell was. I said nothing and walked away.

A true story I wish upon no one.

Have a gooder
Bob

I never put the stuff on my boots now... Try walking across a field in the dark and have a doe or buck pick up that smell and come running at you.. thats about all it takes to stop putting it on your boots

Well, Buck Bomb bombed for me last year. More like buck repellent. I never saw so few deer as I did last season. Even the ones I did see really managed to keep their distance. The only thing it managed to lure was money out of my wallet.

Still have a can in the drawer. Maybe I'll donate it to "Curves with Recurves".
