Bowhunters Fatal Obsession experiment?

[PineThirty]

Well I decided today to put my trail camera out while Im out of town all next week. This past season I used Bowhunters Fatal Obsession, and had mixed results with It. I wanted to take some today and use It In the area I placed my trail camera out since there are a good bit of us on this forum that use the BFO. I figured maybe some others would be Interested to see what happens also. I put a generious bit on a small tree about 5-10 yards from my camera. There are PLENTY of deer In the area(actually I saw 3 just going to put the camera out). There are also afew hogs running around, so we might get to see If It Intreages there curiosity as much as It does some deer. I placed It were there Is about 5-6 hard used trail that Intersect, a good bit of droppings and sign all over the trails and In that general area.

What Im hoping Is that I will get pictures of deer crossing these trails even If there just passing through. Then hopefully Ill be able to tell from the pictures If the deer when passing It decied to stop and smell around. Im not sure If the scent will stay around In the area all week, but Im already excited about getting home a checking my camera. Ill be sure to update with pictures when I get home and check It.

Cool !
Sometimes I set out an empty bottle and spray it down. Got plenty of deer with their nose on it. Seem more scared of the cam.

What's in that stuff anyway? What's the theory?

I think it has some urine but its mostly a deer glandular lure with a secret ingredient as a curiosity scent. Smells like deer but tastes like chicken.

Bowhunter's Fatal Obsession is a urine based scent that contains glandular secretions. The scent is tintured over time so that it doesn't "spoil" like regular urine based scents. Each year, certain deer processors in central GA remove the pre-orbital, interdigital, forehead, tarsal, vaginal, and one other gland from harvested deer. These glands are tinctured for several months in a process that is unique to Bowhunter's Fatal Obsession scents. Each bottle of BFO has this tincture along with a proprietary blend of urines. When a deer smells this scent, it not only smells the urine but also the glandular secretions, so in essence, it smells another deer. This is very benefitical because deer use their nose like we use our eyes, to identy everything. When a deer smells a foreign deer in it's territory, it becomes either curious or mad. Both are helpful to a hunter.

That sounds pretty darn handy...

It's also been around for quite a while now. I remember back when it was called bowhunters setup and sold by Muzzy. I got my first bottle from Mark at the ATA show one year. It works as far as I am concerned and I've heard lots of other folks say the same thing.

I wish you had strapped a bottle with the top open to the tree so it would stay more active while you were away this week. Please let us in on the pics you have when you get back.

I think Bowhunters Setup is still sold by Muzzy but its made by Whitetail Obsession Scents. I was told it was a slightly different mixture ?
Thanks Bow Only for straightening me out. I didn't think it was urine based. I've never had it to get that ammonia smell like most urine scents do. Must be the tincture process ? Regardless, it still tastes like chicken !

Thanks Lee, It may not have been the same thing, but it sure smelled like it to me. Nevertheless, BFO works and I'll keep using after the results I had last year!

Muzzy currently makes Bowhunter's Setup. That is a different formula than Bowhunter's Fatal Obsession. Dennis Lewis of Southern Woods and Water TV makes Bowhunter's Fatal Obsession and has changed his formula over the years. Although I haven't used Bowhunter's Setup in years, I think it's fair to say they are mutually distinct products.

Thanks to Bow Only for keeping me straightened out. It seems the only thing I know about it is that it works, and it tastes like chicken.
I set a Mineral Mizer Bag out when deer season ended. (One of Dennis's sponsors)Their tearing it up, got a ton of pics. Its unbelievable how quick they found it.
I've still got a few bottles left, I could set one up by my trail cam. They'll stick their nose to the BFO but we wont know which one brought em in ?

Bowanna, I kinda wanna know how you know it tastes like chicken, and I kinda don't....just know that I believe you.
