Hello,
I have been meaning to contact you and let you know what an unbelievable scent line you produce and how successful I was this past hunting season using your scents.
I went up to the Kittery Trading Post for the 'Hunter's weekend' this past October, as I live in South Boston, Mass. I attended one of the seminars you put on and also spoke to you on the second floor, across from couple who had the 'Blood Tracking' kit. Your class was extremely interesting, as well as informative. I enjoyed it tremendously, and it made me think of scents in a different light, and it was great to pick your brain afterwards.
I ended up buying the 'Kittery Kit' package that was offered and thought I would give it a try.
The last weekend in October I was bow-hunting in Plymouth,MA and I was not seeing very much, so I decided to check on a location that I had seen scrapes in years past. I came upon the scrape and it looked like it had just begun to be used, maybe visited a couple of times. I put down a few drops of
'All Season Lure' , worked the scrape a little with my foot and circled back about 30 yd.. to a spot between a few trees to sit and wait. Not 20 minutes later a big Doe jumps out of the thick brush and heads right for the scrape.
She was sniffing like crazy all over it, urinated, and stayed there for several minutes. She could not get enough if it, she was sniffing and smelling like I have never seen before, unaware I was right there watching her. I decided to wait and hope for a Buck, I released the tension from my bow but kept it up and ready as I was kneeling down in case he came out I would be ready for him. As I watched this Doe I was fascinated with how she never picked her head up from the ground. Then she started to walk away from the scrape and I though she was leaving, but far from it !
I watched in amazement as she circled around in a half moon shape, coming right towards me. I realized I must have picked up some scent when I was working the scrape and she was following right towards me. It was unbelievable, I watched her as she followed my track, weaving just as I did. After a time the excitement wore off as my legs were cramping from kneeling down at the ready for so long. I almost wished she would just leave so I could move again. But she kept on coming. And coming. I had my head turned to my left as I watched her, now my neck was in pain as well. She kept coming though, and she was smelling the whole time, not realizing I was there. That Doe was occupied with what she was smelling that she came right up and touched me with her nose as she was sniffing the ground. My heart was racing at this point as she was nudging me trying to follow the scent. I finally could not
sit still any longer and had to move.
I' d stopped to look back. She must not have seen me as she hung around for another 20 minutes. I never did see the Buck that day, but I had the best day of hunting I ever had. As soon as I got back to my truck I called up two of my hunting friends to tell them what had just happened, My voice was so
excited telling them that I can't believe I got all the words out.
I never did see that Buck on my two follow up hunts to that area but I know must have been surprised to find out he had compitition in the area. On my way to my annual hunting week in Seboeis, Maine ( between Bangor and Millinockett ) we stopped at Kittery and I picked up some more scents, as did my friend. The first week of December I was muzzleloading and it was very warm and not much was happening. It was discouraging to say the least.
The 2nd last day of our hunt we decided to go just up the hill from our camp. We were not expecting much and went in very late, around 8:00 am and not with the best attitude. Me and my friend split off as we headed down the mountain towards a river at the bottom. It had rained fairly heavily throughout the last part of the night and early morning. I began to see sign all over the place. Rubs, scrapes, well worn trails, but no tracks. I took my time criss crossing the mountain as I headed towards the stream
below. I but on a couple of drops of 'Tarsal Gland' scent on boot and some 'Doe Urine' on my drag rag as I meandered back and forth. I came to an opening where two old logging roads had once been and decided to take a break and sit on a large rock for a few minutes and re evaluate my day. A couple of minutes after I was sitting I heard a Buck calling from behind me. I turned my head around and I could barley see him through the trees coming towards me. His nose was up in the air taking in all he could smell.
He came from above me, not following me, smelling and calling like crazy. He was grunting and sniffing, grunting and sniffing as I stood up and faced him with my muzzleloader. His head was up high with his neck extended out as far as it would go smelling and heading downhill towards me. At that moment I
gave a quick call and froze him in his tracks with his neck way still out sniffing, and I dropped him in his tracks with a straight on shot to the neck at 25 yds. This Buck was an 8" tall spike horn dressed out at 138 lbs on December 4, 2008. He was so preoccupied with what he was taking in that he had no idea what hit him.
I hunted 6 days this past season and had unbelievable success on two of those. I am sold ! I know it is not a miracle product, but is a valuable tool to add to my bag of goods. I have used scents in the past, even fresh doe urine from a local farmer in rural Maine who feeds deer on his property, all with nothing like this. Please keep up the outstanding work and feel free to contact me, use or edit this any way you see fit. I cannot wait 'til next season !
Thanks again,
John,
Dear Mike:
A little story. I was out black bear hunting in western MA. yesterday with a heavy dose of Pine scent on me. I did not see a bear yesterday, but a big bull moose certainly didn't spook 30 yards away from me.
Best regards,
Marty
A Testimonial By Derrick Hart
I have now hunted with In-scents products for several years for big game in North America and cannot tell you how happy I am with their products. I had that big Canadian Whitetail come in to a scent bomb that I had set up using In-Scents "doe-in-heat Lure". The outfitter was amazed at how well it worked and is now using it for all of his clients. I have also just used their cover scents and Scent Eliminator successfully recently on a bear hunt in Canada. I was hunting in 30 mph swirling winds and was seeing nothing and decided to use In-scents Scent Eliminator and a scent-loc suit that I got from In-scents and took a 400lb bear that came in from down wind and he never knew I was there. I can tell you that I have seen these products make a difference and give me an edge. I highly recommend In-Scents.com for you next hunting adventure.

To Whom It May Concern:
Hi ! My name is Sean Barton and I have been using your product for about a year know when it was first introduced to me. I am fifteen years-old and have been working at the Mohegan Sports on Route 6 for about a year and a half. I writing to let you know that I have been hearing nothing but positive remarks about your products. I myself prefer the Doe-In-Heat liquid and gel which are the most strongest smelling scents I have ever smelt. Last fall in November during the peak of the rut I put your Doe-In-Heat gel on the back of my boot and walked into the woods to my ground blind. When I got there I also put some of the Doe-In-Heat liquid in a film canister and put it about 20 yards away from me. An hour later I spotted a 3-pt buck trailing, with his nose in the dirt, a hot doe on top of the ridge. I sat and waited patiently to see if my scent would get the job done; and sure enough it did! The buck got a whiff of the scent, sniffed around for a minute, turned and followed my scent trail. At this time my heart was pounding and I could hardly breath! As soon as he got to the canister, he stop and I drilled him right through the "boiler room," a perfect broadside shoot! It was a hunt I would never forget, my first deer. Well, thanks for your time and I would really appreciate it if you could write back. Thanks again, hope to hear from you soon!
Sincerely,
Sean M. Barton
