O'l Smokey sent me this for y'all
« on: October 04, 2021, 09:29:13 AM »
Smokey has been a Sponsor for many years, and he just sent me this to share with Tradgang. This is not Smokey in the video, its a guy that has perfected Wicked Wicks.

Thought it might be of some interest to some of you as its a very unique tactic.

Cool, I gotta try that  :bigsmyl:
We live in the present, we dream of the future, but we learn eternal truths from the past

Been using them for years. This was interesting, this buck checked this out the first evening I put it out. No scent except for mine, early August. It does work and is a lot of fun for minimal work involved.

What other scents might work? Vanilla or musk oil?

 Very nice to see how he used the knot and wire technique to secure to a branch.
Got to try this and thanks for sharing . :thumbsup:

Ozy, you have to use the the pre  orbital gland lure. It is designed for making mock scraps, and breaking a limb on a limb on a branch that they can reach. Then someone, not sure who, came up with the rope method.

We don't have whitetails or smokey's here in Australia so I was wondering what else may work. I've tried a couple of wicked wicks for fallow deer with vanilla and musk oils with inconclusive results. I got a few photos of animals sniffing it but certainly nothing that suggests it wasn't just merely checking it out as it walked past.

Does anyone know if you have to reapply during the season?

Sorry if I missed that in the video.

I believe he said you don't have to reapply that the bucks would open it back up

We do reapply the scent every 2 weeks or so. Might not need it, but I don't think it hurts. We just try to keep our human scent to a minimum, rubber gloves and boots etc.
