Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Buck Bomb? five ounces of pure urine manufactured in an aerosol spray that can be partially depressed to release the product in bursts or can be locked down to fog out the entire five ounces.
Does it work better than a liquid scent? Absolutely! For the following reasons:
1. Coverage - We are essentially turning the urine into a gas cloud that will drift in excess of ¼ mile in a 3 M.P.H. breeze. The fine particulate emitted by the custom nozzle will attach to leaves, trees, and brush as it blows through the woods. It is impossible for a liquid, solid, or gel scent to duplicate this large broadcast area.
2. Ease of use - You cannot spill a Buck Bomb in your truck or hunting bag. You do not have to handle messy wicks or drags. You simply depress the nozzle away from your face and let the product go. No more guesswork or the need to walk all over your hunting area to hang wicks. Our product is simple, portable, and disposable.
3. Cost effectiveness - 5 oz. of pure scent for $8-9 which is below the industry average. Plus, unlike liquids, the scent will actually be broadcast out to the animal. The whole point is for the deer to smell the scent and The Buck Bomb does this far more effectively than any other scent system.
4. Cover capability - In addition to being a great attractant, The Buck Bomb always provides incredible cover scent. By completely covering the hunter's downwind side, our product allows him more opportunity to see game that may have otherwise avoided the area. The Young Buck and Doe P should be used from the opening day of bow season right up to the pre-rut.
5. Increased opportunity - Since you learned to "hunt with the wind", you may avoid certain stands or areas when you feel the wind isn't just right. Because of the Buck Bomb's cover capability and downrange effectiveness, you may reconsider this strategy. It can be the perfect tool to use on the edge of thick cover when the wind is blowing back into the area. Many times, a large buck will be drawn in to investigate before shooting light expires.
Do you only have one scent? No, we offer 7 whitetail scents, 4 are pure urines:
1. Doe in Estrus - harvested during the estrus cycle and best used during pre-rut and rut.
2. Dominant Buck - harvested from 3 ½ + year old bucks and best used during rut and pre-rut to encourage dominant behavior from mature bucks.
3. Doe P - harvested from young does and fawns and best used during early bow season and post-rut as a natural cover scent and attractant to both sexes.
4. Young Buck - harvested from young spikes and forks and best used during early bow season and post-rut to attract larger bucks to investigate an intruder in their territory. Will attract does as well.
5. Vanilla Curiosity (non-urine) - great all around scent that peaks the natural curiosity of deer and provides excellent cover scent.
6. Bone Collector Doe In Estrus - Harvested during the estrus cycle with the preservative Scent Protect.
7. Acorn Rage Bomb - The Acorn Rage Bomb is made from the ingredients of Wildgame Innovation's Acorn Rage in an aerosol can.
What are the best ways to use the product? Our customers use the product in many ways. Our nozzle can be sprayed in any direction so you can walk to your stand and lay a scent trail by spraying the can upside down as you go or spray foliage on your way in. If you are hunting a fixed position stand in the afternoon, we recommend placing the product on the ground and setting it off. If you are hunting a climbing stand or are hunting in the AM, we recommend taking the product into the stand with you. The Buck Bomb Hammock is an accessory that holds the can and can be attached to your rope/hoist line enabling you to lower the can to the ground as it is dispersing. The reason for this is that if deer are close, they tend to respond to The Buck Bomb quickly and you don't want them on top of you before you are ready to shoot or before it is light enough to see.
Is it advantageous to use more than one scent at a time? It certainly can be. Often, it is helpful to create a "scent scenario" in the woods. An example would be to use a combination of Young Buck and Doe in Estrus. You could spray a scent trail with both together, or spray down your area with young buck and set-off an estrus can. You would be trying to get a more mature buck upset that he was missing out on some action and hope he would respond quickly, with his guard down. There are many examples of this that have been effective for our customers.
I had a can left over from last year, should I throw it away? Definitely Not! Since The Buck Bomb is manufactured in an aerosol format, no oxygen is introduced to the scent and no sunlight can penetrate the can. What this means is that we have a 3-year shelf life, unlike many of the other scent products on the market that quickly turn to ammonia.
I do a lot of stalking, how can I use your product? As you know, wind direction changes all of the time in the field. Winds shift and thermals change unexpectedly. As soon as you take up a new position to look or glass from, disperse a Buck Bomb for a few seconds. Not only will you see which way the product drifts, you will decrease the chance that an animal will wind you and increase your shot opportunities.
Should I use the product upwind or downwind of my stand? You want to set the product so that the scent drifts in the direction that you expect the deer to come from. Most times we spray around the base of our tree and then set the can slightly upwind from our position; ideally in an open shooting lane. This allows the wind to drift by our location and towards the expected area of approach.
Does The Buck Bomb work with decoys? How about calls? We have had excellent results using both 2-D and 3-D decoys. A Buck Bomb can dispersed right next to your decoy greatly improves the chances that deer will find your set-up. The combination of the visual and the olfactory stimulation often puts the deer at ease and they approach more quickly, with less caution. A great way to add a third dimension to your scenario is to use a call (bleat, grunt, or rattle) in combination with decoys and a Buck Bomb. Essentially you are triggering the animal's three main senses at once which can be extremely effective.
It is often very cold during our season, what effect does this have on your product? This is a great question and one we address often. We have tested the product at very low temperatures and it has not frozen. What happens, however, is that the propellant in the can shrinks which decreases the pressure needed to expel the scent. You want to keep the product indoors the night before you hunt and then keep it inside your jacket until you are ready to use it. The warmer it is, the better it works. A great way to heat it up is to put it on your dashboard and let the defrost run for ~10 minutes while you are driving.
