Anybody have luck with Sow in heat scents

[dax2323]

Never tried using any scent lures on hogs... Any luck or info on it would be appreciated.

I use sow in heat all the time but they have to be in the right direction for it to bring them in. After a couple years using it I have only had maybe 2 boars come to the scent. I really use it more as a cover scent for me knowing I cannot possibly be that stinky so I put it in the general vicinity of my stand.

I use it in all my traps. It brings in the boars and seems to catch the smaller hogs, it puts them at ease I believe. I hang a piece of rope or material from the top and spray it. I will also spray my trip wire to ensure they push it. Very valuable for trapping, makes the difference. Never used it for hunting...... But, like deer hunting I will put my doe pee bottle on the ground where I want it and open the top, put it back in my pocket when I am done. I don't want them getting used to it when I am not there. Same way I would use the hog scent, just open the bottle and set it strategically where you need it for that hunt.
