Wyndscent 2.0 - Anyone have experience?

[Dontlookdown]

Saw a thread in the vendor access area, but I didn't have access to post in there and I have lots of questions. I'm relatively new to deer hunting (bagged two doe last gun season for my first two hunts), and going to archery hunt this year. I understand how much controlling your scent plays in to a successful hunt, but I am a virgin to the attractant and cover scent world. That being said, I'm a gear junkie so I bought the Wyndscent 2.0 last night along with their Sanctuary (bedding area) and Seduction (doe estrus) cartridges. I theorized using the Sanctuary pre and post rut as a simple cover scent and Seduction during the rut to hopefully attract my target buck (big bruiser ten point with a thick, beautiful rack).

Do any of you have any experience using the Wyndscent or any vaporized scents? I've seen some guys on here love scents and some don't believe in them. Oftentimes I'll check my wind once I'm on my hunting grounds and hit the stand that works best for that wind, and about 20 minutes after I'm there, my wind flips on me. Also, the property I hunt all slopes downward in to a creekbed, so I know thermals are pulling my scent down the ridge to the bottom. I figured I could utilize the Wyndscent to cover my scent should I be in the tree and have the wind flip on me to the point that where I'm hunting no longer make sense. I'm not relying on it to compensate for poor scent control and hunt planning (at least, I hope).

Furthermore, I have been coyote hunting for years now, and I wish Wyndscent would release some scents that would get the dogs going! I'd love to pair calling with scents. Seems to me like a coyote hearing a distress call paired with that animal's scent would be pretty irresistible. Thoughts?

I have no experience with this product and have only used artificial scents a few times, with minimal success. I will warn you that the quickest way to never see your buck again is to go in an overload the area with scent that doesn’t belong. Be very very very conservative and strategic with any scent you use.

Great advice. What's "minimal success" look like? Worse successful percentage of hunts with artificial scents vs without any scent at all or with natural scent?

Well if you want to see a ton of 2 year old bucks go out on November 9th and spray a ton of doe in estrus. I just think the big boys know better. Think about it this way, if you have pictures of him in an area in the daylight then there’s already a good reason he’s there. DONT CHANGE ANYTHING. If the reason he’s coming is still there, he’ll be there. If he’s not coming where you are set up it’s very unlikely you’ll draw him there, you need to go to him.

I've hunted Whitetail for 54 years and jumped on almost any new scent that came out until 1995. I have seen more deer running away with their tails up from scents than for any other reason. The only scent I use and trust is Conquest EverCalm. I don't go deer hunting without it. It DOES actually calm the deer. (IMO)
