New Hunting Scents & Lures For 2017

By Tracy BreenMarch 31, 2017

You would think scent products wouldn’t change much. After all, deer urine is deer urine … right? Well, kinda. Over the last several decades, the outdoor industry has learned a lot about deer urine. How to collect it properly, when to collect it, how to preserve it and how to maximize the attractiveness of it to peak the interest of bucks in the rut.  Now companies are learning more and more about how to synthesize it create synthetic lures with a longer shelf life that are every bit as effective as the real thing.  As technology has advanced, so too have the number of scent-related products on the market. Below are a few of the latest and greatest on the market in 2017.

TINK’S TROPHY TAKER GEL

One of the most recognized names in the scent industry is Tink’s. They have been around forever and truly set the standard with their #69 Doe-In-Rut product. This year they have a new product called Trophy Taker Gel. The long lasting gel can be sprayed on the ground, a tree or anywhere a hunter would like to attract deer.

NATIONWIDE SCENTS

If you are looking for ultra fresh urine, check out Nationwide Scents. This company might not be a household name, but they produce great deer scents. They collect and sell all of their own urines. The moment they collect the urine they bring it down to 33 degrees, bottle it and then freeze it. They ship it out to the consumer frozen. Because of this process, the urine doesn’t have time to quickly break down and spoil like other products on the market. Nationwide offers a wide variety of urine products including estrus doe urine, rutting buck urine, and many other products.

CONQUEST HEAT SEAKER

Every deer hunter would like to know exactly when the rut is taking place so they know when to be in the tree. Now hunters can know exactly when does are coming into estrus, thanks to a revolutionary new product from Conquest Scents called Heat Seaker. Heat Seaker is a test strip kit that has been developed to determine when does are in heat. The test strip can detect airborne estrus pheromones. To use the kit, you wet the test strip with the special Heat Seeker solution, stick the strip on a card and into a special holder that gets stuck in the ground, and cover the card with a plastic shroud for five minutes. After five minutes if the strip turns red, a doe in heat has urinated in the area and you will know the rut is on! This kit is truly unique.
