LEDE Trophy Buck Scent Stick

Tink's has announced its newest addition to its scent stick line-up: the Trophy Buck Natural Scent Stick. Like all Tink’s deer scents, it’s proudly made in America.

Made with 100-percent natural rutting buck urine from dominant bucks, this stick is built to fire up territorial instincts and bring mature deer in to investigate and confront an “intruder.” The Trophy Buck Scent Stick isn’t just for the rut, though. In early season, it doubles as a curiosity lure when bachelor groups are still hanging together, making it a versatile tool for multiple phases of your hunt.

Tink’s Scent Sticks feature a wax-based formula that makes application cleaner, simpler, and more effective than ever. Just twist up, swipe on, and hunt. The formula endures tough weather conditions like rain and snow, so you can rely on it no matter where the season takes you. Scent Sticks can be applied liberally to boots, tree limbs, leaves, ladder stands, fabric, and more, giving hunters endless options for creating an effective setup.

“We wanted to give hunters something that’s not only super effective but also incredibly easy to use,” said Jim Heeren, National Sales Manager at Tink’s. “With our sticks, you just apply it and let the deer do the rest. No mess, no hassle. Just effortless results.”

Packaged in a convenient no-mess applicator, the Trophy Buck Scent Stick is easy to carry and simple to deploy. For more information, visit tinks.com.
