Oktoberfest is the world’s largest volksfest, which means “people festival.” October is also the start of the white-tailed deer rut, signaling the start of deerfest, which should not be confused with beerfest.
The volksfest and deerfest have a lot in common. There are gatherings of people and deer, and at both events, there will be pre-rut activities. The guys and bucks will be dressed in their finest, and the ladies will be dolled up and wearing seductive eau du toilette or secret perfumes and concoctions.
People and deer communicate by smell. It may be hard to comprehend, but our cave-dwelling ancestors would have used their olfactory senses, like deer, to continue the circle of life.
White-tailed deer hunters paying attention to detail know that rubs, scrapes, and deer themselves are lingering calling cards and boundaries for other deer. A whitetail’s sense of smell is so acute that they can detect the hormones of a doe that indicate she is ready to breed. Copulatory lip curls trap smells in a buck’s nasal cavity for analysis. A doe in estrus will draw bucks from miles around, as they can pick up and track down the source of the smell.
Have you ever watched a big buck following an old deer trail with his nose to the ground? Like a good hound dog, the buck detects small particles of scent and tracks it in the direction the doe traveled. If you think estrous scents are not essential, you should pay more attention to what the deer are doing.
Knowing that a big buck will travel a great distance, check scrapes regularly, and seek out estrous does with the hopes of finding just one more “hot doe” is a weakness a hunter should note. Every buck is looking for a new doe or one they may have missed on their last rut roundup.
Wildlife Research Center built its business and reputation on deer scents and have helped hunters harvest thousands of deer. Most hunters are familiar with Special Golden Estrus and the Scent Reflex Technology used in several attractants. However, Wildlife Research Center has a couple of tricks up its sleeve that could be a game-changer for deer hunters looking for an edge on the competition.
Three different Micro Brews are available in the Craft Scents lineup with historical technologies and secretions that are sure to pique a buck’s interest.
Trapper John’s Ultimate Buck Lure combines old forgotten secrets from the trappers of long ago, highly attractive oils, and Super-Premium Doe Urine with Estrus Secretions. This unique brew will work throughout the rut and extend the pre- and post-rut activities.
Chainsaw Brian’s Premium Doe Estrus would be considered high power Doe Estrus Scent. It is made from premium Doe Urine with Estrus Secretions and enhanced for better performance with Territorial Musk and a secret ingredient to make it even hotter. If you want to generate an extreme reaction, get out the Chainsaw.
The third Micro Brew is Buck-Fire Raging Estrus. This craft scent is a unique playing card tweaked with two secret, rut-inspiring ingredients and just a touch of tarsal smell to help reach out to that hard-to-find buck. The intense sexual attraction and strong territorial appeal is generated with Super Premium Estrus Lure carefully crafted in small batches by the scent masters at Wildlife Research Center.
Oktoberfest is a celebration with beer, and microbrewers always grab people’s attention. The Wildlife Research Center Micro Brews in the Craft Scent lineup are like magic potions designed to draw and seduce dominant bucks anywhere. Consider them a celebration of deerfest to up the ante anytime during the hunting season.
