Well, I was watching some hunting shows on the WILD channel last night and found something that might actually be useful! The show featured directions for making the ultimate deer attractant scent. I'm curious if any of you have tried this, and if you have, if you picked up the tonquin musk and glycerin locally or had to order it online?
1.Cut off the buck's balls, slit and remove testicles and discard any fat.
2.Wearing latex gloves to keep your scent off it, make a vertical slit in each testicle and scrape out the contents, should be about 4 oz. in all.
3.Put the 4 oz. of jam into a clean canning jar, add 4 oz. of 40% vodka, a pinch of salt, then seal the jar and shake vigorously. Feel free to pour yourself a triple vodka coke at this point to make yourself feel better!
4.Put the well-labelled:-D jar in a cool, dark place until next hunting season, to let the alcohol absorb the scent and make a tincture.
5.Add 4 oz. of glycerin and 6-8 drops of tonquin musk, shake, and put into a spray bottle. Spray on hunting clothes each morning of the hunt, it's supposed to attract deer like nothing for sale commercially, especially during the rut.
Well, I know dad and I used to extract the roe from salmon we caught, put it into little bags made of sheer red panty hose, tie it off, and use it to catch our limit of salmon in short order in the old days up north. Probably illegal now, but the natural roe worked SO much better for catching salmon than anything else! Maybe this natural home made scent will also work really well!

Watch out for the heard of deer coming to attack you at any given moment.
When ever I find a natural {real} deer scrape I get so nervous I have to leave the area.
After watching all the videos of the "Best" deer scents over the years and how they pull deer in so quick and of course always big bucks .....
Im scared that the "REAL" deer scrapes could attrack so many deer I would be putting myself in harms way. Deer do attack just watch youtube.
Yes watch out for your scent making that stuff and oh call all the companies ... salt co. vodka co. etc and see if their staff wear gloves and masks etc ..... get the point ....
Maybe hanging the gland freshly cut off the leg or pulling out the pi$$ bag and keeping the urine to spread around might be a better idea.
Not sure how freezing either of the mentioned would work the following year....
Not giving you a hard time, but if it works like a hot danm it would be banned !!!!!!
It is a good excuse for a drink though ..... cheers

:-D Lol Tackdriver, that's why I suggested the triple vodka & coke for yourself after you finish scraping the buck's nut-jelly out of his balls
and putting it into the canning jar with four ounces of vodka!
I think it could very well bring curious bucks into your area during
the rut, I'm going to make a batch!

Watched it too, thought it was interesting. Be a very small investment to mix up some of your own stuff, so you coudl wear buck ball soup.:-D

I wonder if it would work on Bighorns? You could get like a gallon of lure out of a mature set of ram balls!!!!!

Tonquin musk? I've heard of the "strait" somewhere over by the Philippines, but not an animal. Maybe find a witch - she might help you. Glycerin is available in any drug store off the shelf. It's the nitro they won't sell you. Sounds like one heluva concoction...imo.

Do you mean Tonkin Gulf, where the US Navy faked an attack on one of their destroyers as a pretense for escalation of the Vietnam War?

Nice recipe, though. Fun to say you tried it!

You'd have to be seriously in need of help if you would spray that concoction on your hunting clothes. imo

Guess I`ll have to quit eating all the deer balls I get and try this out.

Lol, yeah CanuckShooter, I was thinking that a dark rag sprayed with this stuff, then taken out of it's ziploc bag when on stand would be more user friendly. Don't necessarily "need help", got a couple of deer this year as usual, but I'm also not afraid of trying new things if they make logical sense. There's a reason we're all not hunting with spears, sharpened at one end and put in the fire to harden the point, lol!

I use this stuff for many years and have lots of "varieties" in stock. It works as does anything Alan Probst prepares. Check his stuff out ont he internet. Just Google "Alan Probst"and watch an old time trapper make stuff from deer balls that works real fine.

I guess I show my age at times.

If I start spraying buck nuts all over myself the old lady is gonna loose it. Not only will I be single, loose half my house and most of my hunting gear, I will have to live knowing im covering myself in testicle willingly. Its like wild....self tea-bag. Too much.

Lol Buckmeister, no I'm fresh out of buck nuts so I guess I'll have to wait until next year's donor! Some folks offered to let me chop off Clifford Olson's nuts but I think that would make all the deer in B.C. move to Alberta! Oh Gunner, I nearly fell out of my chair when I read your post, LOL! I re-thought that one too, I'm going with a rag sprayed with the stuff and kept in a large ziploc bag until I'm on stand...you gotta go back home at some point! CaribooBill, thanks for your input, it's good to hear from someone who's used the stuff!!
