Tink's Helps Hunters Choose the Right Scent for the Situation

With four proven formulas designed to offer different scent profiles, Tink's gives hunters options for every phase of the season.

Every hunt is different, and so is every deer. Rather than trying to fit every situation into the same scent strategy, Tink's offers a lineup of proven formulas that give hunters options based on deer behavior, the time of year and what they want their setup to accomplish.

Tink's® #1 Doe-P® is an all-season, non-estrous doe urine designed to create a familiar, calming presence in the area. It can be used throughout the season, making it a versatile choice for hunters who want to introduce doe scent without relying on an estrous-specific formula.

As deer activity begins to shift toward the rut, Tink's® #69 Doe-In-Rut® brings an estrous doe scent profile to the setup. It is a natural choice when bucks begin actively seeking does, but hunters can use it whenever they want to introduce an estrous scent into their strategy.

Tink's® Trophy Buck offers a different approach by introducing buck scent into the hunting area. It can be used to add another layer to a setup when hunters want to suggest the presence of another buck, making it an option across a variety of hunting situations.

For hunters looking for a premium estrous option, Tink's® PEAK30® is pure doe urine collected during standing peak estrus and tested to contain peak estrus levels. While it can be particularly appealing during the rut when bucks are actively seeking does in heat, it can be incorporated whenever hunters want a highly specific estrous scent profile.

"The goal isn't to tell hunters there's only one scent for one specific week of the season," said Teri Quinn, Director of Marketing at Tink's®. "Deer behavior can change throughout the season, and hunters have different strategies. We want to give them options and the information they need to choose the scent that makes the most sense for their hunt."

Tink's gives hunters the flexibility to choose the scent that fits their strategy, conditions and the deer activity they're seeing in the field.
