Love this scent. Works amazing. If you've ever walked down wind of deer it's the same smell. I use it not as an attractant but a cover scent.

I'm kinda feeling like this thread is a commercial.

People have there doubts but there are guys I know that kill mature bucks every year and use it. I've seen some good results from it.

One of the few scents I feel is worth the money for what it is...

Curious? Buy a stick and smell it. It smells exactly like a deer. I used to rub it on the sides of my boots and pants. I had many deer sniff around my entrance while using it… Come to think of it I may actually buy a stick for this year...

I guess here is what I am thinking, even if it smells like a real deer is it useful? Can it really cover your scent so a mature buck isn't going to bust out down wing? Is there any real advantage to totally surprising a deer with an arrow? I know this stuff is pretty spendy, just trying to figure out is it at all applicable or just marketing? Rancid has good results with deer coming to vanilla, would there really be any difference here?

This is exactly how I feel about it.

I've also had some success with it. Both 2.5 yr olds, but they seemed attracted to it. One followed my foot trail right to me for a shot. I've also had does come in to it. This year I bought the VS-1 (estrus)...We'll see how it goes.

I think it just preoccupies their mind for a little bit. Ie, they smell another deer strongly, they barely catch a whiff of human odor. They focus on the strong deer smell long enough to work closer to you or stand for a shot.

I don't buy into all the scent crap but I have tried the evercalm after a good buddy told me about it that kills great deer every year. I've killed several decent bucks with it around me. Not sure if it helped but it didn't hurt.

I started to put in on my boots for stand entry on a couple nearby properties I usually hunt several times in the season. I'm just hoping maybe deer that cut my trail don't bust out and keep using the area. I figure it's a long shot but if it helps keep those stands fresh then I'll keep using it. Probably a waste of time and money. We'll see

I'm kind of a scent nut. I haven't tried Evercalm yet. But have researched it and others like it. Roger Rotharee swore by fox urine to help control human ground odor. I think these type of things can help dupe immature animals alot of the time. Which is a good thing in my opinion. As long as your not going out of your way to place it out in front of your stand. In some circumstances keeping the younger deer calm means the mature ones aren't alerted to your presence before they show themselves.

No its not a cure all. It doesn't replace the Beast basics. But at times it could be the difference maker in certain situations. Increasing my odds a little bit.

Anyone who thinks a mature 4 yr old in a high pressure area is going to stop and sniff some evercalm during shooting hours is crazy, prolly works great on mature bucks that don't live in extreme fear of humans. High pressure Bucks don't get enough credit for how cagey they really are

And most of us do not hunt deer in their natural setting, deer now live amongst us like rabbits, and they are getting smarter with time, a whitetail in Colorado that is co existing with elk and mule deer is not the same buck that is living in the back 40 acres.
