My Story
Since I was little, I've always loved the outdoors and I would nag my Dad to go out with him hunting.
I loved nature and developed a passion for hunting whitetails. As I grew in the sport, I slowly realized I wanted bigger bucks and I let all the small ones walk as I filmed them and learned by watching them. My respect for the outdoors drives me to seek the best locations for an ethical harvest. Whitetails always seem to know you're there. The preseason is particularly exciting as I set up the cams to watch the shooters grow and try to track their habit and bedding areas. Pulling cards from the trail cams is almost as good as harvesting your target buck.
Still to this day, my passion is on fire and I seize every opportunity to venture into the woods.
I've always desired a genuine, natural scent—one that truly reflected what the label claims and came from real deer. After extensive research, I sought a way to immerse myself in the world of scents. Throughout my life, I've tried various scents; some were effective while others fell short. I realized that the key to achieving a close encounter with that buck is in how effectively I positioned my stand and the amount of scouting I conducted. My goal was to find a local, authentic scent that would mimic the presence of either another doe or an intruder buck in their territory.
I work with over thirty cams, friends, and sportsmen like yourself to get feedback to tweak the scent. All my cams are run on video so I can see the reaction of each deer to see how they receive it. Following nearly eight years of experimentation, I am now working on a range of attractants designed to keep deer in the vicinity for an optimal shot. My dedication to perfecting the scent and delivering top-notch products to you remains steadfast.
