I figured out why bass pro always runs out of buck bombs! Set it off at 5 30am deer came in fast at 6 15. Went back to get another one, they were out. Ill be in line when the next shipment comes in.
 
Dude scents dont work never have never will. I dont care what you or tens of thousands of people say They dont work.Learn to hunt! Just kidding :D Good luck!
 
How do you know the deer came in due to the buck bomb?? I am skeptical of this.... Not to discredit you, but just seems outlandish.
 
But I will say this..... Years ago hunting with my stepfather, he shot 3 times at a doe across the field with open sights. Missed all three times, and that was all the ammo he had with him. The third shot finally scared the deer, and she bolted...... We went across the field to see if he had hit. In the process of making our way over, we smelled the STRONG smell of her urine..... smelled just like the doe in heat you can buy. we checked, and seen no sign of a hit. So we headed back across and upon returning, we still smelled the urine, and a really good 8 point came bustin in from behind where he had shot from!! No ammo, but he smelled that dang urine, and came in HOT!!

I havent tried the buck bombs. I can however say I have seen deer many time react to scents and lures I put out to draw them in. I have seen bucks and does lick and chew scent wicks. It amazes me that most deer hunters cant or will not belive that scents work. My dad was a trapper in his youth and always used scents and lures to increase his catch. So it was pretty easy for him to start useing scents and lures to attract deer. He is the reason I rely on them heavily today.
 
I set a bomb off Saturday morning at 5:20 killed a nice buck before 7:00! I saved the bomb for just right condition I think it helps but not a sure thing.
 
I don't use scents but I know a lot of people that do and swear by em. Why wouldn they work? I know when I was single somebody could have killed me by using the scent of a hot woman.
 
I've never been big in attractant scents but I will say this. I use a scent wick sometimes to hang near my ground blind as kind of a cover scent. On the muzzle loader opener this year I killed a decent little 8 point that can directly to that scent wick. He came in from the direction of the wind and got within 10 yards of my blind, then proceeded to make a complete circle around my blind with his nose stuck out looking directly at me the whole time. He was so close I didn't even have to put the sights on him. I just pointed and pulled the trigger. No question he smelled the scent and was coming all the way to it. I don't think this is something that you could expect with and kind of scent on a regular basis though.
 
Never used an estrous drag before this year. Here's my story and why I will use during rut in the future. Saw a nice buck several times during bow.. never got a shot. Tried the grunt, tried the can. He wasn't having it. Finally, rifle arrived and I had seen some chasing, decided to give it a try. Tied to the boot strap and walked about 300 yds to same stand. 1 hour later, buck was on the ground. he had crossed my trail, stopped, came right to my stand. Shot him at 5 yds line of sight from the tree. No clue that I was there, and if any, didn't care.

All said, I have had some mature does take an exception to my drag. They seem to get to it and get pretty pissed...turn....blow and run.
 
Killed the biggest deer I have ever killed with the buck bomb three years ago. 9 point that scored 130. Goes to show estrous scents can work during the rut when these bucks start getting stupid.

what you probably smelled was the buck. i have smelled deer several times before seeing them.
 
Ive killed my last 3 biggest bucks using scents, 1 using the buck bomb esterus and 2 using Tinks69. And for those wanting to know how I know, the were sniffing the product when they were shot.
 
People are skeptical because they try it a few times and it does not bring them right in. Scents can work if used in the right situation at the right time. They can run deer off if used in wrong situation at the wrong time. Sometimes they have no effect at all. It is not a gaurantee kill but to say they do not work at all is an over statement in my opinion. Probably a waste of money the majority of the time, but all you need it to work is one time.
