Arcus Hunting has released Defend by Tink's, focused on creating the impression that coyotes are present, keeping unwanted wildlife away from homes and properties, and providing a strong, authentic urine sourced from real coyotes for real effectiveness.

With the launch of Defend by Tink's, comes the availability of its premium 100-percent natural Coyote Urine product, designed to help create the impression that coyotes are present in an area for a variety of outdoor, property management, and hunting applications. Coyote urine has long been used by hunters, landowners, and property managers as a natural way to influence animal behavior and create the perception of predator activity. Many outdoor users apply coyote urine around outdoor spaces to help discourage unwanted wildlife activity.

"For many outdoorsmen and landowners, predator scent is another useful tool for managing how wildlife interacts with a property or hunting setup," said Matt Kinamore, senior director of product development and category management at Defend. "We use 100-percent natural coyote urine because we wanted Defend Coyote Urine to deliver authentic scent realism people can trust in a variety of outdoor situations."

The launch continues Defend's mission of helping people protect their time outdoors through practical, dependable outdoor protection products.

Defend by Tink's Coyote Urine is available now at DefendOutdoors.com.

Smart Optics 101

Smart optics are changing the way hunters and shooters approach distance, accuracy and confidence in the field.
