I have only tried them once but heres what I found.I was sitting in my ground blind and had a doe with two fawns about 200 yards away.I got out of my blind ,in full view of the deer, and went out about 30 yards,and lite the sticks.Then I walked back to my blind,all while the deer were watching me.After the scent hit them they came right to the sticks even though they knew I was there.
The stick I used were the deer scents brand and I used there bucket.This year I want to try the rut scents.
