Whitcomb's Whitetails

Family owned and family run. Archery runs deep in our roots. As a fanatic hunter and horticulturalist, I started raising deer and collecting scent for my personal use and success.

Now, its difficult to fool a whitetail's nose. It is even more difficult if the scent you are using is watered down, mixed with the scent of many animals, or shelved without refrigeration before you put it to use in the field.
