My dad has used trails end #307 for years and tinks 69. He believes they are ona equal level.
I have yet to use tinks myself, but i have used the trails end 307 for years. im a beleiver in it.
One evening in a field i was setting with my back to a tree about 4 years ago when i was still really inexperianced hunting. Just before dark the nice 6 point (the nicest buck i have yet to see) Came out of the wood line,,, he must have caught the scent, walked right to one of the trees i have a scent wick with 307 on it. I didnt have my rifle in hand and i was slowly reaching for it. The deer HAD to have seen me... he looked right at me 3 or 4 times, he was only 70 yards or so away. but he kept going for the scent. I stuck his nose up in the air at it, (it was above his head). I thought he was gonna get on his hind legs to sniff it! but then walked off, and stupid me didnt get the shot off in time, but totally my fault.
I am a firm beleiver in this scent. And will use it for a long time to come.
Last year i decided to use one of those cheaper ?code blue? bottles, and had no luck at all...
