I
wanted to write and provide you with positive feedback on one of your product
lines that I used this year with great success. On November 12 I was hunting in
Kentucky when at dusk I saw this monster heading out of his river bottom bed. He
was traveling in the opposite direction until a few grunts and the scent of your
“Doe Passion” caught his attention and caused him
to change direction and come in for further inspection, big mistake.
This is my best buck to-date as he had 18 scorable points and gross scored 184.
This 300 lb, 6.5 year old nocturnal buck had survived many a hunting season and
I know without a doubt that your product helped seal the deal. I truly am
convinced that if a deer hunter uses the right combination of your scents at the
appropriate time of the year, it can be a tremendous difference maker. Thanks
again and for your attention to detail and not settling for second best ....

Kevin ... Check out
this decent buck. My buddy and I set up a trail-cam and got this buck
standing right in the scrape made with Kishel’s Scrape Kit. This is one
of several we have coming into this scrape. We’re seeing a lot of deer
and having amazing results with Toe Musk,
Buck-Thrasher II and Mock Scrape Kit.

I just wanted
to tell you about my experience with Buck Thrasher II.
One evening on stand I had placed
Buck Thrasher
II on a
scent wick 90 degrees to my right, and 80 to 90 yards out. I
had also poured a bag of Buck Bran on the ground directly in
front of me straight out at 100 yards. The wind direction
was carrying the
Buck
Thrasher II
scent
straight to the Buck Bran pile. A ten point mature buck
approached the Buck Bran, and he only ate a couple of bites
before the scent of the
Buck
Thrasher II
pulled
him away from the pile. He walked 80 yards
towards
the scent, and kept tipping his nose up in the air smelling
that smell that made him so curious. The scent had brought
him all the way from 100 yards out, and allowed me to make a
25 yard broadside shot. He's hanging on the wall now.
Buck
Thrasher II is my first Kishel's scent, and it is the only
scent I have had a good experience with,
but I
just got some of Kishel's Mock Scrape Kit, and I can't wait
to try it. Thanks for an outstanding product. Keep up the
good work!

Kevin .... I shot this buck in
Chester County Pa. at approx. 4:30 pm of our opening day of firearms season
this year. He was about 180 lbs. The wind was in his favor as he
was getting a nose full
of
Doe Passion.
The
Golden Rod Cover Scent kept him and numerous other deer that
I had seen throughout the day from detecting me, from downwind.
Awesome
products !!

2005 Gun season Lured in with Buck Thrasher II
Kevin, I just wanted to check in with you and give you an update on my
season so far. I took a pretty decent buck on October 15th
with my bow. Kevin, it was just too easy. I was spiking up a couple mock
scrapes for about 2-weeks with the
scrape kit
I got from you and I had
three bucks come in together. The buck I shot was standing in the
mock scrape
nose to the ground. I took this buck at 8:58 am. Between the
scrape kit
and the few drops of
Buck Thrasher 2
I had in the scrape, he didn’t have a chance. Plain and simple, your
products are dangerous in the hands of a deer hunter.I’m
going to begin trapping the first week of November. We’ve getting some
cold nights here lately and I just can’t wait any longer. I was hoping
to get my buck out of the way so I could devote most of my time to
trapping. Now that I’ve got the horns out of the way, it’s time to start
feeding the stretchers. I’m anticipating an awesome season.
One
final comment; I’m convinced that if a hunter or trapper uses your
products as recommended, they can’t help but succeed. It just doesn’t
get any better than Kishel’s.

Just letting you know that
last year was the first year I used your scent and I had a great year in
Illinois. Attached is a picture of a 156" buck taken from a drag line

and I love your products and enjoy sharing them with our friends. This year
I had the opportunity to teach one of my very dear friends (Cyndee Gulvas)
how to trap, we used Crossbreed and Coy Dog II. She caught 4 coyotes in 5
days. Cyndee is a turkey hunter and loves bow hunting, she said, this is a
great time!
Becky Bona - PA - 12/2/2005
Best day this year so far was
last night. Seven does a mid sized seven point that was showing a lot of
frustration. He surprised me. Heard him grunting long before I got to see
him. Ran the does around for about five minuets. Watched
him run two buck
fawns like they where in heat. He made two scrapes and left. Does came back
to eating acorns.
Monster Buck showed up then.
Stayed a little to far away. Never chased a doe. Wondered off then when
it was time to get down he showed up again. Worked the scrapes the
seven point worked and hung around way after dark.
The picture I sent you that you
have on Kishel's web site this year. That scrape is twenty yards from
my stand. The big boy worked the crap out of it last night while I sat there
in the dark watching him. Puts a quiver in my liver to see
a buck do that.
He won the card game last
night. But I have his number. Mike Smith - Pennsylvania

Good stuff.... I put that
mock scrape in
Sunday morning and my son Mark hunted there. A doe came in but winded
where we had dragged out Luke's six point, no shot for Mark. Sunday
afternoon Mark wanted to hunt a different stand where he had seen a buck
before and I got to use my stand w/ the mock scrape. The wind was
terrible but that stand is in a little creek bottom so it's got some
protection. I put some of
your Doe estrus urine in the scrape
and climbed up in the stand. There was no sign of anything visiting the
scrape yet, of coarse I had just made it that morning. The wind was so
bad I thought of getting down but I had a lot of confidence in the spot
so I stayed. About 3:30 I spotted him coming up the bottom just like I
hoped would be his route. Wind was good coming from behind and to his
right. As soon as I saw him I new he was big even though he was a
hundred plus yards
away. He came right up that bottom walking like the big bad ass that he
was. When he got closer he started to go to my right into some beech
slash and my heart sunk I thought he'd go right by me with no
chance for a
shot. But he stopped and turned and walked right to the scrape and gave
me a broad side shot at twenty yards with his nose buried in
your hot doe urine.
I'm sure he had time to take in the Tarsal
and Interdigital scents
from the scrape but well before he could work it or lift his head to
smell the licking branch with your Pre-orbital scent he was interrupted
by my 31" 2315 aluminum shaft with a 125 thunderhead. He left carrying
the mail but only made about Eighty yards falling about twenty yards
past my last sight of him. This was not the big racked buck I was after,
this was a different buck, but there was no way I was going to pass on
him. He is still my best to date rack wise and no question the biggest
bodied Deer I've taken...232 lbs on the hoof..190 dressed.
Thanks we made a good
team! I know the
Mock hadn't had a chance to be visited by the area Deer and work to
increase activity in the area yet but I'm pretty sure If it hadn't
stopped him and pulled himover there
is a strong chance he would have gone right by on my right side and
behind me. Also it stopped him dead and I had set it up for a twenty
yard shot. He was broad side and the only thing moving was his nose. My
son Mark joined me for the recovery and dragging.
I'm maintaining the scrape
hoping for the big racked dude for one of my boys or for gun or late
archery. I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks again Jack Bouquin

.... I had joined a deer hunting club this year with some of
my buddies and this would be my first time to hunt this new
property. I went by and picked up my son's muzzleloader ... I
am a handicap hunter and if it wasn't for my trusty Honda 4 wheeler
getting me to and from the field I would have had to give up hunting
twenty five years ago .... As I got to the field I grabbed my
muzzleloader, my fanny pack, my Kishel's
doe estrus scent
and my
grunt call. I had an hour and a half to hunt. I always carry a
drag rag doused with Kishel's
doe in estrus scent behind
my 4 wheeler to help cover my scent and also to attract bucks .... I
rode my 4 wheeler dragging my drag rag along the edge of the bean
field and parked in the bushes .... I fixed a comfortable spot
under a deer stand .... An hour went by and all I'd seen were two
squirrels. With no deer activity I decided it couldn't hurt
anything to try my old grunt call. I grunted a few short
grunts. What happened next left me is disbelief as in my 40
years of hunting I've never seen anything like it. This
monster buck bolted from a thicket looking for a fight or at least
to protect his territory and he was heading right at me across the
open bean field in full view. It happened so quick that when
the buck stopped he was at 75 yards. I managed to get my gun
up and get my sights on him but he started walking again looking for
the other buck. His hair was all bristled and his ears laid
back as though he was ready to fight. When he stopped at 60
yards I pulled the trigger and I couldn't see a thing for a couple
seconds. When the smoke cleared all I could see was antlers, big
antlers like I've never seen before. At 5:10 I got on my 4
wheeler and rode up to him he had 13 points and some of the longest
points that I've ever seen. He had mule deer forks on both
sides and drop tines on both sides. The deer had a 22 inch spread
and weighed 175 pounds. It was the nicest deer that I've ever
seen in my lifetime. There's no doubt the combination of my
deer scent and a grunt call did the trick on this old buck ....
Finding a Boone & Crockett trophy deer in Weakley county is like
finding a needle in a haystack. I have hunted for 40 years and
spent thousands of hours in the field but you just never know when
its going to happen. Its kind of like that old saying "A bad
day of hunting is still better than a good day at work."
Larry Porter - Tennessee -

Kevin ... I got him on opening day November 2005, around 3 pm. I was
hunting an edge of a hay field in Northern Indiana on the ground behind a bail
of hay during a 35 mph windy day when I heard a noise behind me. I turned and
he was not more then 10 feet from me, he ran and I did a bleat noise with my
mouth which stopped him about 30 yards away and I dropped him. The final stats were 10 points with an 11 inch and a 9 inch tine it would
have been 11 points but one was broke. The field dressed weight was 215 lbs.
Those slugs are awesome thank you Neil and Kevin your scent worked great I must
have had 5 small bucks come within 12 feet of me this year I have never seen
such a thing ...
David Millerr - 2005
Kevin, It's mid December now and we're in a deep freeze here in
Southeastern Pa. I'm still running a short trap line but the bulk of my
trapping is complete for the year. I won't totally pull out until I add
a few more fox to my season's catch. Those early winter fox pelts are
the best.
This
season I had the opportunity to use a wide variety of your products for
both Deer hunting and for the trap line. I've been involved in the
outdoors industry for many years and have pro staffed for numerous
companies. I've seen some really good products over the years and I only
use what I consider to be the best.
As a trapper for over 25 years now, I've used several different brands
of trapping lures and baits over the years.
This
year I really put Kishel's to the test. I was not disappointed in any of
your products, in fact, this season over all was one of the best years
I've ever had on the trap line.
As far as your deer hunting products, I harvested my Pa. buck in archery
season while he was standing in my mock scrape sniffing a snoot full of
Buck Thrasher 2. In our firearms season, my fiancée harvested her first
buck, a trophy 8-pointer. He too fell to the alluring essence of Buck
Thrasher 2
This
year I wanted to try out as many of your trapping lures as possible so I
could get a good feel for a lot of your product line. I wanted to be
able to give an honest testimony of my experience with Kishel's
products.
For
canine's I used Triple Dig-It, Red Brush, Canine Supreme, Crossbreed
Call, Coy Dog II and Red Fox Gland Lure. For my water trapping I used
the Coon Digger I and Coon Digger II, Coon Cream, Mink Misery and your
Muskrat Lure. I WAS SUCCESSFUL WITH EVERY ONE OF THESE PRODUCTS. Now,
I've been trapping long enough to know that any lure can give some
positive results, however, what impresses me with your product line is
the consistency of positive results. I took about 8 rolls of film
capturing the results of much of my success with your products. Pictures
are worth a thousand words and the photos I've taken speak for
themselves.
Basically, my opinion is this, for anyone considering using Kishel's
trapping lures and baits, well, just be prepared to do a lot of skinning
at the end of the day.
In fact, you may want to invest in an extra skinning knife. As trappers,
we invest a lot of effort and hard work into the trap line. A fair
financial investment in equipment is also something you can't avoid so
you might as well get the best you can afford. Good lures and baits are
your ace in the hole and without them, the best equipment in the world
will yield next to nothing. If you're not using Kishel's, your not using
the best.
Kevin, thank you for providing the best products available to the
hunter and trapper. I'll never be without a supply of Kishel's products
when I go into the field.
