directions for best results:
If your goal is to hunt young deer several techniques will work. I once spoke with a guy who uses blueberry pie crust to
attract deer. To hunt mature deer you must be crafty! Deer are created with a nose that gives them over 500-million scent
receptors. That’s easily over 400 times more than we have. And with this amazing nose they can easily identify over twenty-
odors at the same time and a lingering scent trail (where you walked) up to five days. So just using a cover scent for
(smart) deer is a total waste of your time and money. And the first time you enter the woods without proper scent control,
smart deer pattern you and already know what to do to avoid you. Is it any wonder, how many hunters ever get a chance at
a big old buck?

Scent Control
Body Odor year around
While setting your synthetic deer traps or simply scouting your area.
Always follow a strict scent control regimen.
Hunting Season Body Odor
The two largest sources of major deer-alerting odors are your skin
and breath! It is a fact that horses, dogs and mature deer can identity you
by mouth odor alone. If you want the best results don’t cut any corners at all
and follow our entire recommended scent control regimen.
Hunting Clothes
Wash your hunting clothes often (every week) to rid them of all odors.
- Scent control is your first and most important step to fooling any
animal with a sensitive nose!
Body Odor year around
While setting your synthetic deer traps or simply scouting your area.
Always follow a strict scent control regimen.
- Make sure you and your gear are extremely clean.
- Always spray your hands with Vanishing Hunter before touching
anything. - Wear clean de-scented clothes, rubber and maybe even Scent-lok
clothing. - De-scent your rubber boots or waders and other gear with Vanishing
Hunter. - Minimize leaving any lingering scent when accessing your hunting
spots and clear your trail by trimming any thick brush you might
contact. - All of this is crucial when making or checking our Buck traps.

- Shower using scent free body soap and shampoo
- Spray Vanishing Hunter (while your skin is damp) directly onto
your clean skin and rub it over your entire body and your head or hair
or scalp. - Towel-dry or air-dry with a hair dryer.
- If you can’t shower, simply spray Vanishing Hunter directly on
your skin. Leaving the VH residue on your skin will help you remain
scent-free all day long, even while sweating. - Brush, your tongue with toothpaste.
- Rinse your mouth with Vanishing Hunter and spit it out.
- Chew Gum-o-flage to keep your mouth deodorized.
Hunting Clothes
Wash your hunting clothes often (every week) to rid them of all odors.
- Use baking soda alone, with no soap in the water.
- Air-dry or put them in the dryer without softener sheets instead add a
little baking soda in the dryer. - Or wash in scent free soap and in between washes you can treat
your clothes with a light spray of Vanishing Hunter. - Always spray your hands with Vanishing Hunter before handling
any of your clothes or gear. - Store, clean, de-scented hunting gear inside a plastic, rubber or
Scentlok bag and inside a container with a tight seal. - Never wear any part of your hunting gear until you have actually
entered your hunting area. Always wear rubber boots and make sure
they’re de-scented both inside and out. - If you wear leather boots don’t forget to use a good boot cream
to condition, water proof and deodorize - we recommend James
Valley Leather Boot Cream. - Now that you’ve reached this scent control level, hunt the wind at
your backside.
Setting Buck Traps
Introduce a ‘synthetic” deer to your area and
make bucks hunt you!
Creating a Synthetic Trap
To make bucks consistently visit your
setups always make several synthetic
scrapes. You can either use mock (fake)
scrapes or existing ones, old or new. Keep
in mind, the more you create the better your
odds of finding good hunting locations.
If year-round setups are possible, keep good
response sites active by:
You can often get programmed responses
from many deer before the season arrives.
If you can’t precondition your area, quick
response sites (buck traps) can work in a
hurry.

To make bucks consistently visit your

odds of finding good hunting locations.
- First, always put them in runways
with a proper (downward) overhanging
branch for scent communication.
Always mark the licking branch with
BE-FGland. - Next, scrape the ground free from
debris and put at least a quarter
ounce of BE - Pre/Post Rut in the
scrape, for beat results precondition
the deer in your area well in advance
of season.
If year-round setups are possible, keep good
response sites active by:
- Mark them once a month from
February through June. - From July through August, re-freshen
once every two weeks. - September, mark them once a week.
- Once you’re actually hunting! Mark
your hunting spot every time you hunt. - Start early in the year!
You can often get programmed responses
from many deer before the season arrives.
- BF-Rut works best once rutting
behavior increases, and can cause
quick aggressive responses from
rutting deer, a compound benefit at
your synthetic scrapes is that many
deer will collectively urinate and other
scrapes often appear in the area. - We call this the multiplicity factor’
and it really multiplies your buck
activity and chances for success.
If you can’t precondition your area, quick
response sites (buck traps) can work in a
hurry.
- Some of these quick response areas
have produced a reaction within days,
hours, minutes, or even seconds
(really).
