Welcome to the WHTL Podcast, your source for Whitetail Deer Hunting Tactics, Stories & Expert Guests. In this episode, we're back in the studio with Jeff Hopkins. We Discuss: A buck's tarsal gland leaves a scent fingerprint that bottled urine can't copy. Frozen tarsal glands soaked in glycerin gel make your own dominant buck scent. Wax paper under a mock scrape keeps your lure from soaking into the ground. The direction a buck kicks scrape dirt tells you which way he's traveling. A mock scrape carrying a stranger's scent makes the resident buck hunt you. Two or three well-placed mock scrapes beat a farm covered in them. Baking soda patted in with a sock outperforms any bottled field spray. Nothing completely beats a deer's nose — you just make him think you're farther off. A rub on both sides of a tree means he's working that line back and forth. Rattling pays in a short pre-Halloween window, in 10 to 15 second sequences. And So Much More!
