tarsal glands and urine from fresk kills clipped to nearby limbs or drag to your stand ,deadly

Lol,Removing. Tarsal glands is part of field dressing process so they don't contaminate the fresh venison,,harvesting the bladder and emptying the urine poured over the tarsal into a bottle isn't rocket science or needs to be messy unless you have had someone else dress your kills,stomack contents offer clues as to what deer are feeding on,maybe you can buy that in a store also,dummy

I just follow the "pet" does around and collect the ground where they just peed. Never fails me.

Now, can I pull your other leg?

I know some guys swear by tarsals, but I haven't had any use for them ever since they cost me a shot at a nice 12 pointer years ago. He was 3 or 4 steps from entering my shooting lane when he smelled the tarsals (was downwind of them, but upwind of me), and froze for about 10 seconds, then turned and bolted. Never used tarsals or any other scent since.

Nothing works they way we. Want 100%,I have. spooked deer rattling,grunt tubes,scent rags and bait.,the more options at your disposal sometimes helps tilt things in your favour,

I've had some success with tarsal glands that were frozen and thawed a year later. Cut them in half and they should be just as good.

As far as fresh urine, you can have it. I'm not going to demean myself harvesting it from the dead deer's bladder. The bottled stuff seems to work fine.

However, I rarely use scents. Instead I watch the wind and set-up accordingly.

I was thinking the same thing: Anyone who wants to play with stinky glands and pee-pee, you go right ahead.

That is my thought too PigHunter (watching the wind I mean) and that is my reason not wanting deer to circle my blowing call in the first place !

I have heard of both good and bad results concerning the use of both. I would think it would more likely be of success on younger bucks but maybe older bucks might be a little more difficult to bring in. Why I think this way I can not truely say, just my thoughts regarding the experience of older bucks I guess.
