Deer Lures & Scents

Deer Lures and Scents

With our proprietary deer scents, you're getting the results of huge amounts of dedicated research. We hire animal biologists and veterinarians to figure out how deer tick. Let's rephrase that: How deer think. Deer communicate through scents, and they have many specialized glands that speak different messages. Some are for recognizing familiar deer, some signal aggression, and others display arousal. We have identified these glands and know which are responsible for each kind of communication.

So which glands give which messages? Which do you need to get the deer to respond how you want?

• Forehead Gland: Bucks use this gland for applying their scent to branches in their rubs
• Salivary and Nasal Glands: These glands announce to potential mates, "I'm here!"
• Preorbital Gland: For bucks in ruts, this gland communicates, "I'm aggressive!" For does, this gland is active when they're caring for their fawns
• Interdigital Gland: It tells their deer families, "I'm one of you!"
• Tarsal Gland: When mixed with urine, it's used by bucks to say, "I'm ready to mate!"
• Metatarsal Gland: Gets excreted when the deer stomps its feet to say, "There's danger!"
• Preputial Gland: Bucks use this gland's secretions for pre-rut communication. Combines with the tarsal gland to become a rutting scent
• Anal Gland: Does use this gland to communicate, "I'm in heat!"



You'll need to choose the right scent for the situation, of course. That's why we provide both buck and doe scents to ensure you're guiding the deer where you want. It's not enough to just put out some urine as an attractant; you need to use scents to create a deer zone. That way, you can funnel the deer by literally talking to them through their specialized smells.

We chose names like "Blazing Hot Doe" and "Hot Rage Buck" so that you get an idea of what they do from the name alone! We also offer combination scents to mimic how deer use them naturally in the wild. Your goal is to impersonate a deer, after all.

It's more than a "salt lick." Yes, that's the common term, but we're putting in the minerals that deer like and need. This includes:

• Calcium
• Copper
• Sulfur
• Phosphorus
• Zinc

Of course, there's salt in there, too. What creature doesn't like salt? Additionally, deer drink a lot of water in the spring and summer, and our minerals for deer give them the ability to get rid of that excess water while providing them with essential nutrients to help them grow big and strong. You know, so they'll look good above the fireplace and make incredible venison.

Our thanks to Heim Milling in Minnesota for helping us achieve our effective and proprietary mix. They're also the reason we can keep the costs low because they agreed to mix our deer minerals in one-ton batches!
