I'm going to order a can of Nose Jammer based on the recommendations in this thread and other reviews I've heard about it. I look forward to finding out if it's worth the price of a 12-pack.
Vermin, I have been and continue to be blessed in that I get to hunt and hang out on some truly great places for deer. One place I get to hunt a few times a year at a minimum I see 50 deer a day and many of them are inside of a 100 yards. I have watched them (especially bucks that are by themselves obviously looking for does) walk within inches of most every single doe in heat scent made and the bucks never even hesitate, much less check it out or be attracted to it. I try and have tried most anything there is. I basically in all my years of hunting never "use the wind". There are situations where I feel confident that I can use it to my advantage and when I can or think I can I do, but when someone comes up with a way to know every move a deer makes, where it always come from or go to, and I mean ALWAYS, then that person should be able to be millionaire overnight. The one thing I know for a fact is you don't know for the most part with deer, especially mature bucks, what they will do all the time.
The nosejammer is the only thing I have ever tried that, so far, I have not seen a deer spook from my walk in trail, or not throw its head up, start checking the wind and get the heck out of dodge when I can only assume it decided I stink. I hunted a stand on a farm last year, 15' ladder stand, that I helped hang, just hanging stands for whoever landowner had hunting, like I said I never pay much attention to the wind. Well,it is in a "bowl" and is a horrible spot, especially for scent. It was a bad choice for a stand spot. All the other guys that hunt the farm will not hunt it and are ready to move it, every time they hunt it the deer raise all kinds of heck, they say because your scent pools in about a 100 yard area and when the deer get into that area they go nuts, blow, leave, etc. I hunted it 3 evenings, wind from different directions and no wind one sit, used the nosejammer and had as many as 30 deer within 40 yards of me and never saw a deer get the least bit nervous or anything. I sprayed a tree with nosejammer about 10' from the base of my tree and a couple came and licked it. Those guys couldn't believe it when I showed them the pics of the deer standing around me, even a couple of mature bucks. They are believers now to.
I am sure that something will happen and a deer won't like it or something may spook from it, because I believe if you are alive and breathing you putting an odor off in some way no matter what, but I believe the nosejamer has something about that for sure helps.
