I know guys that use nose jammer and say it works. I don't use it. I use deer dander and have for many years.

 

Deer dander? I’ve never heard of that.. Is that similar to the Evercalm stuff? I have used that and had mixed results.

 

If you use it as an attractant… there’s almost nothing better. I’ve never had so many deer come to the smell of it. Mostly does and yearling bucks, however.

 

Huh… Is it something you use all year and they associate it with food, or just when you hunt? It seems like something foreign might freak them out, especially an old doe who likes to blow like she’s auditioning for a jazz band. 🎺🎷

 

Snake oil.

All of it.

 

My cousin uses Nosejammer and he is very successful. I hunted out of a stand that he had sprayed nosejammer on the tree the stand was in. I thought I was smelling someones fabric softener from a house on the hill above the stand. I guess it works as the deer don't seem to bust the stand at all when they come from downwind. I tried a product that I got from a local store to try out and review for them. It is the Scent Thief Wafers. This stuff smells like Vicks and earth scent. It will open up your sinuses, trust me on this one! I've had deer walk in with their noses in the air smelling this stuff. It seems to confuse them, like they can't smell anything at all for a few seconds. I've killed 3 does and a nice buck this year while using these wafers. I don't know if the wafers had much to do with it, but they were all down wind of me and didn't spook at all. They seemed confused a little, but eventually calmed down and walked right into bow range. I've also used deer dander and evercalm, but can't testify to if they work or not. I'm going to keep using the Scent Thief wafers just to see if it is a fluke or if it's really beneficial. I hunt an special Urban Hunt area with unlimited either sex tags so I'll have plenty of chances to test it out. I'm still a skeptic when it comes to using these types of products. I usually only bathe with scent free soaps and wash my clothes in scent free detergents and spray down my equipment with scent reducing sprays and use natural masking scents such as pine and cedar and apple. I will say the Nosejammer smell will stay on the tree for several days, even after a rain!

 

Friends I hunted with years before nosejammer was ever invented were mixing water, vanilla extract and something else...can't remember...to make their own coverscent. Worked for them. They got the bucks on the wall to prove it to.

 

I used "Coverup" made by Russel Hall, andit worked great, then after he sold it , it just did not seem the same

pure vanilla ,from Mexico, with anise oil and /??/?????

 

I have a ground blind that was in the grage since last year nd plan on spraying it with nose jammer

 

It’s like corn. Figure out how to use your tools and they work great. I have friends that use flat heads for Phillips screws. [emoji6]

When nose jammer first came out . I sprayed my rubber boots and walked to my stand through a field. A couple hours later a doe with a 160ish buck on her tail came running across the field. As soon as she hit my trail she stopped , blew and ran back the other way...I haven't used a scent control/cover scent product sense that day. That's when I started learning how to hunt using the wind and thermals and I have the mounts on the wall to prove it!! It's snake oil just like all the other crap that they say can fool a deers nose.

 

I use nose jamer and deer dander, not sure if it helps but I haven't had a bad experience with it. Typically get it on clearance at the end of the season.

 

Deer every where are not exactly the same. Some areas with high concentrations of deer and little pressure, deer can be pretty dumb. Other places with fewer deer and a lot of hunters, especially poachers who are after them a lot. They get so smart they just will not hardly fall for anything. I have even heard from biologist that this is a learned trait. The more alert and suspicious the adult deer are in an area , the more the young deer will be as they mature, its becomes more than just the natural self preservation instinct they are born with . Deer that are part of a large herd that are in more competition for food and procreation are more preoccupied with each other, are not always intensely focused on danger.

 

If I can think hard enough, I think it was me that made mention of Nose Jammer on that thread ?

It stinks like Vanilla or something along that line. But I HAVE ON MY EYES, used it and it worked on a contrary wind on a stand that I kept getting busted on over and over again on. Pigs kept coming down this one particular trail and picking me up,and I had no other trees to move to. I sprayed it about 10 minutes before trails cams were showing the action. They came, and I quickly drew and shot and killed a pig. I have not used it all the time, but I do when I get contrary wind after setting up and having good wind. Instead of moving, I spray a few blasts high and allow it to drift.

I am not saying it's bulletproof, but it worked and it could have been coincidence, but I was busted in the same tree 3-4 times prior.

Ohhhh maybe it was? I can’t remember, I just remember reading through all of it and it got me wondering about, “hm… maybe there is something to this, where there’s smoke there’s fire, right?” At least now I know where to send the Amazon bill if I end up ordering some, thanks man!! Lol.

 

The only 100% effective scent control is hunt the wind. I’ve tried it all, and they will smell you if they get down wind of you.

 

i dont think its perfect but i think you can get away with more with nose jammer in swirly spots. i shot a deer in a swirly spot and i thought he should of busted me. i hunted with a guy that kills a pile of deer every year and he covered himself in it.

 

The only attractant scent I've used with any repeated positive results was Trails End 307 in a 35mm plastic container washed in baking soda with a fresh cotton ball. It didn't work all the time, but as mentioned above.....deer are individuals that might be curious one day and cautious the next. The biggest doe I've ever killed came down a little valley with her nose in the air and I shot her at 15 yards with her nose right in the film container. If you base your opinion on a single encounter.....either positive or negtive.....that is a totally unscientific approach because that single deer may have been an outlier rather than the norm. Other deer got spooky smelling TE 307 and some ignored it....mixed bag like most of the attractant products.

A couple years ago I was hunting with a longtime friend and found a mostly used container of Evercalm lying on a table. His son had been using it and had a high opinion of it. So I asked his son if I could try it and he gave me the remainder of the stick deodorant type container. I got mixed results, which is pretty typical for deer hunting and the application of an odor to their natural environment. But because some were not negative, I have tried it again a few times to get a broader read on the deer herd type scent. These threads don't prompt me to buy new stuff, but I don't summarily write it off because one use was a bust and thus the entire genre is a hoax.

 

I’ve never gotten a negative result playing the wind and thermals..

 

by that comment, you’re literally implying you’ve never had a deer get downwind of you and get uneasy.

 

I use it and it works.....cannot believe I am saying it but have seen the difference.

I have used it and killed deer

 

The thing is, Nose Jammer isn't like any of those other products. It's not a "cover scent" or any kind of scent eliminating/controlling product. It's designed to overwhelm/flood a deer's olfactory system to keep them from being able to identify one particular scent (i.e. human odor). It does this with the use of a Vanillin, which is a naturally occurring (so deer smell it everyday in the wild) organic compound. The people making Nose Jammer concentrate the Vanillin and when a deer smells it, their sense of smell gets overwhelmed/flooded with it and makes it very difficult for them to detect any other scent/odor. It's like a human getting a snoot full of black pepper, For a while, that's all you can smell. It does eventually wear off though.

For the record, I don't use Nose Jammer. I did consider it when it first came out so I did a lot of research/reading up on it. The science behind it definitely makes sense though.

 

I used it on and around my bear bait this year. Bait hadn't been hit for a week and so I sprayed it on. Killed a bear that afternoon!

 

Ive used it and it works really well most the time

 

I have used both nose jammer and evercalm I tend to prefer evercalm two very different cover scents. I do not know if either work but have appeared to at times help a bit. I don’t think either one hurts you.

 

It’s expensive 14.99 for 8oz.
How long could an 8oz can last?
For that kinda money it should come
With a bonus rub n tug!

 

One Product That Has Proven Itself To Me
several Times Is Ozonics! I did talk to the owner of Hadley Creek Outfitters in Pike
county Illinois and they swear by Nose Jammer and buy it by the case for their clients.
