Anyone ever tried Bill Bowman's deer breaking scents?

Do they work?

No I haven't but I did try Tri tronics G2 e-collars and it worked.

Droptine , IMO it's a waste of money. Years ago before Tri Tronics, I tried it on some of my coon hounds and founds that it made them like the scent more than dislike it. Had some really nice deer hounds at that time! :shock:
Tried the barrel thing also with deer scent and found that after that a hound will not sleep in a barrel again.
Just a few things I had to learn the hard way!

I tried them, following the directions - it didn't work on the pair I had.
After chasing one across 3 ridges to catch him and leaving the gip in the woods all night, I bought shock collars.
It took the female 2 times, the male was a little harder but I finally made them honest.

Breaking scents don't work because they are dead scent and don't even began to smell the same as live scent. I wasted a lot of cash on the things that did'nt work, because I was looking for cheap way to get the job done. I spent the money on e-collars and now I know I can handle the job of haveing clean hounds.
