Tink's smokin sticks?

Post by bullfood »

Bought some all season smokin sticks to try next week when my crossbow season finally starts. Anybody have luck w/these and any suggestions as to how to use them would be appreciated. The area I will be hunting is bush, field, meadow and swamp
I can't bait as the farmer has yet to remove his cattle which seems to get later every year.

thanks Bullfood

I've used the smoking sticks a few times, i'm not sure if they work or not, but it's a great tool to determine where the wind is coming from. I take a coffee can drill 12 holes around the bottom edge of the can, then I drill 6, (1/2") holes about 1 inch from the top of the can. I then light 2 sticks, and flip the can over them. Hope this helps.

I had a 6 pointer come in and I could see the smoke going right to him and he never came near it or he wasn't even curious. I'm thinking you can go to a smoke shop and just buy a package of apple smelling sticks and try that.

I have a friend here at work (yes I'm at work right now. :) ) who likes to use them as a cover scent more so than an attractant. I've never used them but he likes them.

They are excellent for the cover scent you need; but try the Buck Bomb - Doe in Estrous - Tinks puts out too!

Canadian Tire sells it although $2 cheaper at Walmart; if the shelvs aren't bare by now .

It brought me many a buck this year , including my "hog" of a 12 point this season.

Good luck!
