Let me know, also let me know if it doesn't work so that I may correct it. I'm going to say I like hunting either in the morning or before the sunsets, but I don't like it getting too dark so quick to where I can't see to shoot which is technically before the sunsets only because I have cataracts which makes it difficult for me to tell the difference of things unfortunately.

Has anyone heard or used?

Has anyone heard or used?

Has anyone heard or used Wind Pro and if whether or not it works? That is my question today, I won't lie since they were having a deal yesterday I purchased the package deal, of course shipping is what gets you. So I'm asking all Missouri hunters is whether or not you have heard of it or have used it and what your opinion is about the product? you can get the product here, its $29.99 of course shipping for me was $10.99 which in my opinion is crazy, its suppose to have no shelf life so should be able to use it multiple years, of course since it looks so tiny....makes you wonder how long it really will last and will you have to buy more for that crazy amount.....anyone's opinion would be appreciated.

Also didn't see anything last night, rebaited my traps again still haven't caught anything since I checked this morning and didn't see any deer either, so I might try sardines tonight since that is usually my favorite bait to use so we will see if that will make a difference. Didn't take a pic but you could tell the buck was back at the scrape since there was new footprints in the spot, so I may respray that back down tonight as well...of course I'm not going to be able to hunt for long since I have to be somewhere by six tonight which is kinda a bummer to be missing out on the chance to go hunting, but I'm looking at it I have until December 7th to get a deer since I really don't do Muzzleloading and don't think my husband's family has enough guns to really pass around and since I've only done that for one year (did get a deer, went hunting with my father-in-law he talked me through it) I really don't feel comfortable quite yet on doing it by myself. 

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks

Well I didn't see anything last night and I also didn't see anything this morning, hopefully hoping I will have better luck tonight! Also haven't caught anything in my traps yet so I'm going to try to re-bait them with the products I have before I go to my last resort which I have always used which is sardines, I'm always willing to give new products a try. Speaking of products:

I tried using this Tinks Acorn Scent cover it is $5.99 at Bass Pro here:  I tried it on the first opening day because I'm willing to try to mask my human scent (never have in the past though), I was able to spritz it one time and haven't been able to get it to work since then. Maybe its just faulty or something, but I can tell you this stuff is strong smelling, like a big giant pile of acorns. Not really sure if I would try using this again.

Next I've been using this every single day which is Scent A-Way Anti-Perspirant-Odorless, I won't lie which I know this will be too much information but I sweat a lot, and who doesn't want something that has moisture control in it? Even if I wasn't wearing a ton of clothing I'd probably still sweat a lot. I absolutely love this product a lot, it helps keeps me dry and its odorless so I don't have to worry about trying to mask even more human scent from my normal deodorant which is quite smelly. Its a good way to keep from sweating horribly and keep you dry. I would recommend this to any hunter out there. This is $5.99 here at Bass Pro. 

Another item that I really like that I've been using every single day, not still 100% sure if it works or not, but I spray myself down with Dead Down Wind ScentPrevent Evolve Scent Control Field Spray. I spray myself down anytime I'm ready to go hunting to eliminate any scents that might give me away since I sit on the ground and don't hunt out of a blind (hoping to get a blind soon-its on my hunting wish list! ha ha). 

This was $9.99 here at Bass Pro as well. As we can all tell by now I obviously love shopping at Bass Pro.

Still have more products to talk about, but I like doing a little bit at a time. Does anyone have anything special on their hunting wish list, or products they love using during hunting season, I would love to hear about it, so comment away!

Thanks 

Day 3-Kicking myself in the butt!

Day 3 Kicking myself in the butt! Putting it nicely! :) 

Well I didn't get to recheck the mock scrape today from after putting more mock scrape on top of the scrape yesterday, of course I hadn't seen any deer in two days, my husband did get a button buck on Saturday night. Finally this morning...I'm kicking myself in the butt, saw a deer finally shot at it not only once but twice and obviously missed both times, didn't see any blood trails or dead bodies next door! LOL Yes everyone can make fun of me, but trust me when I say I'm kicking my own butt, so I'm not really sure what happened, but I'm extremely disappointed to have finally seen a deer this morning and didn't get it. Also checked my traps yesterday and didn't catch anything, need to check them today to see if I have yet or not, but I was too busy moping but will be back out there again to hunt and hopefully will have much better luck. Hoping anyways! LOL Also I should have added to the fact that the weather was just perfect today and the wind direction was just right also....

Here below is the pic of the scrape:

Trapping Lures/Bait

Trapping Lures/Bait

I'm hoping everyone had a good morning this morning to start off Rifle Season and Trapping Season here in Central-Mid Missouri....sounded like my husband got a button buck (not 100% for sure yet, haven't talked to him since we each hunt at different locations. I hunt on the back of our property which is about 10 acres and he hunts over at his grandpa's which has way more than 75 acres)...I didn't see anything at all today (also I've been hunting off of our property for three years now-one year got a button buck, another year got a doe -really hoping for a nice buck though since there has been huge scrapes back there (hoping to take a pic of it tomorrow while I'm back there). 

Anyways today I put out traps/ used new trapping lures/bait (I usually use Sardines which I have as a back-up method). The pic below is not all of the bait/lures that I have- I only took a pic of the ones I used today and testing its effectiveness on catching animals. 

Okay first bait is NO BS Nite Vision Coon#1 Bait - it's a

Super strong smelling all-season bait that reaches out and grabs the raccoons' attenttion. Glows in the dark. 16 oz jar. which I got from Cumberland's Northwest Trappers Supply Incs. here at this link: it is $15.00 -haven't tested it out yet to see if it really glows in the dark, but I thought it was neat sounding so I got it. Also I love how quickly you get your products as well from Cumberland's Northwest Trappers Supply, Incs. I ordered this on a Wednesday and received it on Friday of the same week. How awesome is that?

Next bait is NO BS Double Down-it's a This bait is strong and appealing to raccoon, gets their curiosity up. 16 oz jar. -it's $10 -I can tell you this stuff is strong smelling, and kinda gross looking too, not really sure what all is in there.

After that is Caveman's Lures Predator Bait- Got this at Cabelas for $7.99 -Premium food/call bait that keeps furbearers such as fox, coyote, raccoon and bobcat working your sets longer. A proprietary blend of food, glands and musk produces a sharp odor that’s detectable from extreme distances. 

Size: 9-oz. bottle.

The other two bottles are also Caveman's Lures that I got at Cabelas, I got:

• Canine Force – This food/call lure is a potent mixture of food and calling ingredients that brings various predators into your sets. Its powerful calling properties are ideal for cold-weather trapping.
• Mink Master – Strong gland lure combined with essential oils and weasel musk appeals to the mink's territorial nature and brings them in. Effective as a change-up predator lure at your flat or post sets.

they where both-$6.99 which they appear to be on backorder at the moment, of course they have other choices too to pick from.

I have two other baits/lures, I just haven't tried them out yet, figure I would start with these to see how well they worked which I will know by tomorrow morning, so I guess I'll cross my fingers and will wait and see what I get.

Traps

Traps

I would like to first start off by saying that you know for sure its getting close to hunting season here in Central Mid-Missouri when the shelves of hunting supplies at Wal-Mart (haven't checked Bass Pro in a while) are bare. It's a reminder to myself that if I am wanting anything hunting related wise to buy it early as possible, pretty much as soon as it hits the shelf or if not you might just be out of luck. I will be taking pics and posting them tomorrow about some lures that I'm going to be trying this year for trapping, they are new to me and will be interesting to see how well they work out. Still need to take pics of other products I am trying out this year, etc. Its a work in progress on this page. 

I bought this set a couple of weeks ago at Tractor Supply Company for $34.99 +tax (yes I do have other traps but I liked that this is a combo and I can get the smaller trap as well) 

GFA Catch and Release Live Animal Trap, Pack of 2

is basically what this trap is, which is set up differently versus the other traps I have. I'm not gonna complain though because I love the color which is green (green is my favorite color), I love how easy it is to set up the trap and can't wait to see how well it will work during trapping season which starts the same day as rifle season. I'm really thinking about getting some more especially during Black Friday week because starting November 26, 2014 at 6 a.m. you can get these GFA Catch and Release Live Animal Trap, Pack of 2 for $19.99.....can I say yes please! :) -I'm hoping I can at least get 4 more of these during the sale. 

-Also I should have noted that the only reason I didn't get the value pack traps at Orschelns because yes they do sell them there, but the only thing is that the second trap is basically a rodent catch/release which is not what I was looking for. So just keep that in mind that if your wanting the smaller traps your better off getting them at Tractor Supply. 

Controversial Products Part 2

Controversial Products Part 2

Okay earlier I posted about Wildgame Innovations Crush Juiced (had been using the apple flavor, do have two other flavors as well the Persimmon, and Honey Acorn Flavors), as well as the Evolved Original Liquid Deer Cane, which we all know I absolutely love the Evolved Liquid Deer Cane because the deer go crazy over that stuff, much more versus Wildgame Innovations Crush Juiced (love their products as well, but the deer wasn't as excited about it versus the deer cane) anyways I had talked to the MCD which they really couldn't give me the answer as to whether or not if the products that I had provided the ingredients for was considered as bait or not, no clear answer at all, it was just gray. Anyways I had contacted both companies about the products. I can say I hadn't ever gotten a response back about Deer Cane, but did received a replay back from Wildgame Innovations.

This is the answer I had received:  The ingredients a listed on the products. They do contain artificial flavors but I cannot tell if that is allowed or not based on what you posted. Artificial flavoring is not the real thing. 

-So even there answer was kinda gray just due to the fact that obviously the Wildlife Code for hunting when it comes to whether products are considered as bait or not is gray... either way you look at it, there is no direct answer on these products. I guess you can look at it either way. Any feedback would be awesome on your opinions about these two products. 

Thanks- there's still more to come when it comes to posting! :)
