All submitted answers are subject to the rules set forth in our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. from derobbins wrote 1 year 2 weeks ago yes I have used them but with little or no success. the problem with any airborn attractant is that they have a limited range, it all depends on how fast the wind is blowing air temp, humidity, pressure and so on. think of it like this you see a dead possom on the side of the road on a hot humid day stinks like you know what right. now then the same possom on a cold winter day when the humidity is low. very little smell right. while buck bombs, doe pee, etc do work they are best used to bring bucks in from a short distance away.
Has Anyone ever used buck bomb and had it work if so i must be doin something wrong
