Smokeys Deer Lures...time to HANG!!
« on: June 26, 2014, 11:01:00 AM »
It's that time!!  july 1st or close to it has been my time to hang my Smokey Buck Orbital Gland hemp ropes under a trail camera. I pick 4-5 spots that are near fields and usually old scrapes to hang a 3/4 hemp rope that is 5' off the ground or so.The bucks love coming to this scent and bumping around....why wait till fall?.. I use to hang deep in the woods but now i hang close to road or field where i can ride up and check with minimum disturbance. I retouch about every 2 weeks or so. or whenever i can.. Smokey and Gene W taught me all of this so they are to blame if you dont get any big buck pics.....but dont bet me you wont!!

When is the best time to start hanging the wicks? Anytime or closer to the fall?

Good looking deer Joe. I have posted some pics with my wick sets on the trail camera thread. I just used some pre orbital with a couple drops of smokey's forehead gland lure.

Well, I thought I had the Canadian supplier info, but NOT, I guess. It was someone in Quebec, a bowyer, I believe. I've e-mailed Smokey to ask.

It's not too late. Hanging mine this weekend also. Be scent free and hang in an area that deer frequent. Good luck!

I personally think the best time is sept a couple weeks before the season starts (especially on public ground) ...... while they work well earlier it can be to tempting to go into the area far too often and thus tip your hand.
