Blacktail lure
« on: July 13, 2011, 02:10:12 PM »
Started thinking about this when looking up articles for rattling blacktails.  Anyone use scents for blacktails?  Every hunting store around here sells a bunch of different lures and very few sell any specifically for blacktails.  You think a BT will be spooked by a generic lure probably made for whitetails?

Wholesale Sports and Sunbirds sell a small variety of blacktail scents.  Dont know if it helps much, but figured it cant hurt.

I have used it several times. I got it wholesale sports. The only time I know it worked was during a late buck hunt, I had a very nice 2 point come almost running in from straight down wind with his nose to the ground. I shot him at about 12 yards in some heavy reprod, he didn't even know I was there until it was to late!

What was the one you used?  I was wondering if anyone tried using the ones that dont specify a species.

I can't count how many times I have been up cutting wood during deer season and look around and there is a deer (sometimes a buck) standing there watching me...

I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

There are blacktail specific scents, but I cant remember the name. Moccasin Joe maybe?

   As far as working, I have experienced success while using them. Whether they were a contributing factor who knows I think they work at least some of the time.

  My best luck with them has been the last week of October, this is when I think I have seen the most bucks i believed were truly drawn in by the lure alone, during the pre rut when they are in search of receptive does. I think they are more willing to "bite". I have also had success hanging it in a known buck after dark then coming back in the morning, killed 3 bucks this way, however all of them were out of groups, with several bucks and does mixed in. So I also believe the real deal was probably present and the spot was just coincedence.

I think they use the same stuff, rebrand it and stick an expiration date on it. Ive used outdated whitetail urine in late season and had 2 bt bucks follow my foot steps for fifty yards.
