Three Generations of Kishel's  -  'Like Father - Like Son'

It was a cool afternoon on Nov. 21st. I squirted my stand, bow, and clothes with Golden Rod Cover Scent when I got out of the truck. As I walked to my stand I set out a scent trail using Dave's "Pro" Scent Drag.  It was soaked with Kishel's Doe in Heat Estrus urine. I started the drag along a corn field edge and walked about 300 yards towards my stand refreshing it with more Kishel's Doe In Heat Estrus urine about every 75 yards. Once I entered the corner of the woods I soaked it real good and started walking about 100 yards to my stand, about 8 yards from the fields edge. About 15 yards from in front of where I was going to hang my stand I drew a "J" about 10 yards wide and 5 yards deep. I call this move the "J of death" or the "Last J". For when bucks follow the scent the trail it and give you a nice quartering away shot when they follow the trail. At the end of the "J" I hang the drag about 2' - 3' off the ground. I feel that circulates the scent around at their nose level better. Then before I climbed up into the tree (25') I set out 3 scent pads with Kishel's Doe Passion on them. These are hung at the same height as the drag. They are between 20 and 25 yards in a triangle.  This gives you 3 more shooting areas if you hang them in your shooting lanes upwind. I climbed into my tree at 1:45PM and settled in for a nice hunt. I saw small bucks and a few does running around. A small 8 point followed the trail to the Last "J" and he hung around for over an hour looking around for the doe he was sure was standing next to him.  LOL. About 4:45PM I noticed a NICE buck coming out of a finger of woods and he was heading towards my drag line. He stood over it for about a minute then put his head down and started following it. He followed it for over 150 yards. At one point I thought he was gone but it turned out that in the corner of field where I soaked the pad one last time he was there licking and smelling it . I heard a twig snap and there he was at 60 yards heading down the drag line. He walked in just like the little buck did earlier and stood there for a minute. Then he committed to the "J" and he went to take a step and my Horton Max 175 sent a Carbon Express bolt tipped with a 100 grain NAP Spitfire broadhead right into his ribs and it Double Lunged Em'. He only went 50 yards and stopped and tipped over. I tell you one thing.  Kishel's Scent's make a difference that they can smell.
It makes "Bucks just dying to get one more sniff"

Kishel's quality deer lures give whitetail bucks a bad day, every day !!  Christina Yarbrough takes her deer hunting very serious, that's why she only uses Kishel's deer lures. Christina harvested this nice 8 pointer on Dec. 1st, 2008 the opening day of the Pennsylvania firearms season. This buck could not resist the alluring aroma of Kishel's "Spiked Deer Urine" He came right in for a 30 yard shot.  The second person with Christina and her buck, is her brother Kyle Gray and his buck.  Kyle harvested this nice Whitetail on the opening day of the Pa. firearms season using Goldenrod Cover Scent and Kishel's "Spiked Deer Urine".   The buck was lured in for a 40 yard shot.   Greg Yarbrough - 2008 - Pennsylvania

Here's a pic of buck I shot during archery season.  Not a monster but still had his nose stuck in a mock scrape using Kishels' Mock Scrape Kit.  Also had a sent wick of Buck Thrasher II hanging above.  

Had 2 more small bucks come in @10 and 20yds down wind of scrape this morning............ scrape.            Thanks Tony Rice - Hoosick, New York - 2008

This is my Pennsy buck I harvested using Kevin's Mock Scrape Kit.  I had some Doe Estrus out downwind of the scrape and this 8 pt checked the scrape downwind, 8 yards away from the scrape.  He did not come to freshen the scrape up, but unfortunately for him, I was right on top of him. Since using your scents my son and I have harvested bigger bucks.  Most of our bucks have been 6-8 with nice spreads.  I have passed up many smaller bucks with your scents.  I am always wondering how many bucks each time I go out will come to your scents.  So far, almost every time I go out I have seen buck either using your doe urine or doe estrus urine.  I also use your Buck Thrasher II at different times.
Thanks for a  great product!    R Shoup - Pennsylvania - 2008

Mr. Kishel .... On November 1st, 2008 I harvested this 13 point buck of a lifetime using your Mock Scrape Kit I purchased 3 years ago, (unlimited shelf life).  The deer weighed 255 lbs. dressed and had an inside spread of 23 1/4 inches.  

I started this mock scrape along a deer trail the second week of October. I added some regular doe urine in the area to complete the illusion.  I did not use doe in estrus scent since I did not feel the doe in my area were coming into estrus at the time. Doe would scent check the scrape but not got directly into it. 

Then, on November 1st, this buck came right into this scrape like he was on a string.  He stopped at the scrape then took three more steps where I arrowed him at 10 yards.  I watched this buck go down 35 yards from my stand. 

Not knowing how good the shot placement had been and the fact I couldn't see the buck in the high grass where he was lying, I decided to stay on stand an hour before I approached him. What happened next is what has me sold on your product. 

While on stand waiting out my hour, a doe came into the scrape, then another, and another, and a buck right at dark.  I couldn't believe my eyes.  They could not stay out of it. 

A week later while hunting with friends in Wisconsin I freshened two scrapes out of our seven stand locations.  These two stand locations had the most deer activity and where the only stands where we saw bucks (7 total).  I had a heavy 8 pointer come into the scrape the second day hunting but managed to hit a small branch and miss the deer.

No doubt, my friends and I will be using your products next year!

Good Hunting .... Steven S. von Oetinger - Garrettsville, Ohio - 2008

Hello Kevin,

With this photo, I have concluded my participation in field testing the "spiked deer lure".

All in all, I feel that this product has proven to be a valuable tool for use in the hunting of white-tailed deer.  In the early season, this product seemed to have a calming effect on deer as they approached my stand position. On numerous occasions the product attracted deer to my stand location offering me the opportunity to harvest an antlerless deer.

In the early part of the month of November, I used this product together with "Doe Passion" to harvest a nice Pennsylvania buck during  the archery season.  I used the Doe Passion on a drag rag to lay down a scent trail leading to my tree stand location. I used the "Spiked Deer Urine" in a small spray bottle by applying the product to leaves approximately 2-3 feet off of the ground. I had several encounters with whitetail bucks responding to this scent combination. The bucks actually ate the leaves that had the application of "Spiked Deer Urine".

One of my hunting partners, John Yanarella took a trip to Kansas the first week of December this year. I supplied John with 1 ounce of " Spiked Deer Urine" to be used as part of his hunting strategy. John used the Goldenrod cover scent to control his human scent and used the " Spiked Deer Urine"  as an attractor. The result was the 140 class 10 pointer shown in the enclosed picture.

Kevin, it is my opinion that this product, like all other Kishel's products, far exceeds the effectiveness of all other deer hunting lures on the market today. I found the product to consistently attract deer and NEVER alarm deer. I would recommend this product with complete pride and confidence for use in hunting White-tailed deer at any time during the hunting season.

God bless ... Greg Yarbrough

Jeff,  I took this 7 point buck last night at 25 ft.  Actually he tracked me right to my tree.  He followed my drag like a hound on a rabbit.  Luckily another smaller buck came and this buck made a bluff charge which got him out from under me.  He stopped at about 7 paces.  Thanks for getting my Doe n Estrus to me. 
It worked like a champ ...

To Kishels

I have been using Kishel's scents for the last 3 years. This year I harvested my second best buck ever using Doe in Estrus Urine on a drag. Once I got to my stand location I made a figure 8 with the drag about 20 yards from the stand. I then hung the drag on a limb along with 3 wick's of Doe Passion. every 10 yards in my shooting lane. Around 8AM on a VERY rainy Saturday morning ( Oct 27 2007) this buck came in to the shooting lane. looking for that hot doe he "thought" was there. Thanks to your GREAT products he is now at the Taxidermist. His neck measured 22" under the ears and 27" at base of neck. We haven't had him scored yet but I am sure he is bound for Pope and Young. - Steve Cononie - Germantown, MD

Dear Rhonda & Kevin,

..... My husband works at Whitetail Country Sports World in Olean, NY.  He brought home a few of your items that he purchased from the store.  I thought I would give them a try while he went to work the next day.  I went hunting at about 1:30p.m. I took a scent drag with Kishel’s Buck Thrasher II on it, and another drag with Kishel’s Doe in Estrus on it.  I dragged them behind me, one in each hand.  I did three separate drags this way, and then headed up my tree stand.  I sat there until about an hour before dusk.  Suddenly, does came from everywhere!!!  Two from the South, three from the North and four from the West!!!!  I’d never had that many deer come in at the same time on our property since we’ve owned it, and that’s been for over 17 years!!!  I know we put a food plot in this year, but listen to this.  After trying to decide which doe I was going to take, I caught sight of movement to my left.  I glanced over to see a HUGE 8 point coming in with his nose to the ground right on the scent trail.  He followed that trail until he was 25 yards in front of me.....end of story!!!  Pictures tell the rest!!!!! 
Thanks for such a great product!!!!

Dear Kishel's .... For a second year in a row I am writing in support of your product lines.  They say proof is in the pudding but the past two years proof has been on the ground.  On November 11 I was hunting in Kentucky with Whitetail Heaven Outfitters.  There was a front moving in that afternoon and deer activity was high.  I hung several of your "Dave's Pop Up Scent Dispensers along filled with your "Buck in Rut" and "Doe in Estrus" urine.  There were several other winter wheat fields on the farm that I was hunting and I truly believe that the lures I placed out that evening played a factor in why this bruiser choose to show himself in the field I was hunting at Dusk. 
 
Hunting free ranging whitetails is difficult and I am glad that I am equipped with your products. This is my best buck to-date as he had 16 scoreable points and grossed scored over 200 inches.  When it comes to hunting I am obsessive and very attentive to details and I am glad a lure manufacturer such as Kishel's feels the same way. 
 
Best Regards .... Gary Helmuth .... Scottsville, Virginia
