I've been using Smokeys for a few years now. I use the preorbital gland lure on perimeter mock scrapes on overhaging limbs staring in mid to late August. I get a lot of bucks coming in to investigate and add there scent to the limb. Not many bucks scrape the ground that time of year, but I get a lot of photos of different bucks through the end of September. We have a good age structure of bucks in our area, so that may help also with increased "deer like" activities. Mike    ps nice buck Bill! Ha!

I started using Smokies about a month ago. I made a mock scrape and withing 3 days I had tons of trail cam photos. If it's ok I will post a few pics. I think that next year I will try to start earlier on my farm to get a better idea of what's there.

 
 
 

That is a great buck Bill! Congrats!!!

I used Smokeys this year for the first time and I must say I am very pleased with it. I just got it in late October an within a week they were hitting them pretty heavy. I did not shoot a buck from them (by choice) but they were using them pretty regular, one of them got really large an deep! I also had a few bucks follow my doe in heat drags in like they were on a string.
Congrats on a great buck!!

Great pics.  Congrats.

Congrats...Good stuff.

I've had a blast watching young bucks....one real nice 10(2.5 year old) and 4 different 8 pointers bird dog around my stand with Smokey's Doe in heat pee.  Every time I got up in my tree I'd sling a cap full....and every time I left I'd do the same.

Like I said....it was comical watching those bucks trying to fine the way 'that doe' went.

That 10 is gonna make a dandy....already got great mass and a webbed main beam.  It was tuff passing on him....and would be even tuffer next year.

I also saw the biggest racked buck of my life, just could not get a shot....dang what a 12 pointer....plumb scary.

Anyhow....congrats again Bill!!!!!
