Team Hoyt Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) Giving it a try this year. Bought body soap, laundry detergent, and the spray. I think I'll smell like a bakery. Anybody have luck with this stuff. Edited October 13, 2017 by Team Hoyt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

growalot Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Vanilla is one of the better scents for attracting deer especially buck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNYBuckHunter Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Wait, youre supposed to put doe estrous on your boots? I thought it was like a 5 hour energy drink for when you go hunting. Always smelled and tasted funny to me, but I kept going with it because I hear about all of the great luck guys have with it. No wonder i never have any luck using scents. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas0218 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I make my own, there used to be this stuff Doc's Sweet Demise. Smelled like vanilla and some other stuff. I just took some almond extract, imitation vanilla and molasses threw it in one of those cheap spray bottles from walmart and use that. I fill it about half way with the imitation vanilla the next 1/4 water, then 1/8 almond and 1/8 molasses. Deer seem to like it, I have had them follow my trail to the stand and lick my tree steps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robhuntandfish Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Vanilla?? just doesnt seem right Lol I had a buddy in college that was drunk one night and tied a can of spaghetti O's to a string, rolled it down the hallway of the dorm and said he was trolling for fat girls. Just because he did that didnt make it right! lol 2 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApexerER Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I think I have tried every gimmick out there. Nose Jammer is one that I have tried. I never had any luck with it...I tried it for a season a few years ago. Evercalm is the only thing out of the million things I have tried that I think there is something too.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Hoyt Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 I'd like to try some of the evercalm, just haven't made the purchase yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampy Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I too have tried all kinds of stuff over many years with little positive results. Gave it all up a few years ago. Until.......last year. Was reading on this forum about guys using Evercalm, and getting surprisingly good results! So I picked some up and tried it. It works! Saw deer cross my trail and not come unglued. They would put their head down, smell, lift their head up, twitch their tail and move on! I saw this at least half a dozen times! Did not try the estrous version, but may give it a try in a coulpe weeks. It's about the only scent product I've ever used, that did what it claimed to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadhunter25 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I just bought a can of it after a few friends told me they swear by it. Im a little skeptical with the vanilla smell. I dont know how they dont mind it but i will give it a whirlInviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never tried a product but I came very, very close to trying evercalm last year. It seemed to get the most consistent positive reviews. I couldn't quite pull the trigger on $15, though, because apparently it has only about a one year shelf life. I actually really love the smell of the bags of corn at field and stream that people buy to feed deer out of state (lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp_bucks Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Tried nose jammer they still caught wind of me. Instead of sprinting away they seemed to calmly walk back the way they came. Im buying evercalm this weekend to use for the following weekend when i can get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
land 1 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 i think some of this stuff helps some but playing the wind is still your best bet . after just one night at deer camp sent control is pretty much out the window... no shower...between the dogs, smoking, drinking and sweating when the wood stove gets to hot... i think i smell so bad the deer think that cant be a human lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownclown Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 i tried it in the past i had very poor results. definitely spooked the deer. i would not recommend nor use ever again. i now only use elver calm. i works very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Evercalm is the sheet! When I do actually see deer which is less than I would prefer (through my own fault of using the wrong stand for the day, being lazy in my scouting, you get the idea) that stuff works like I am just some random deer chilling 20 feet up a tree. They don't care one bit. Gonna test out that vs2 this weekend since there seems to be some chasing going on in westchesterSent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All gear was left out in the truck or van...But...I'd be dragging back deer and getting it hung by the time they come back empty handed...Eventually nearly everyone was showering and some leaving outer wear out side.. to date no one leaves before light to their stands, I don't hunt there anymore, Well during gun .The only bow hunter in camp...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Darling Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I'm on the Evercalm train. Both this year and last year's does walked the same trail I used after scraping some on my boots. To me, they were trying to find the origin of the scent, and certainly didn't see me reposition in the tree stand.
