| When it comes to using scents, calls, decoys or any other invasive
method of pursuing whitetails I am very cautious and picky. It takes a
real winner to become a permanent resident of my pack and after my testing,
EXCITE has been given its own private compartment and an open ended invitation
to stick around.
 Wildlife's
new EXCITE is formulated through a proprietary process that renders
the product thick and sticky - much like honey. This concentrated formula
will not "skin" over like some gels on the market, which allows EXCITE
to remain potent over long periods of time. Also, unlike liquid scents,
it will not evaporate quickly or be washed away by rain. Application is
simple; you can apply it in many ways including pouring and my favorite,
branch dipping. Place the end of a small branch directly in the bottle,
when you pull it out it will be coated with EXCITE. This method of application
allows the user to place the scent at various heights and locations easily
and within a few seconds.
I received my supply of EXCITE just in time for a trip to Ohio to hunt
with good friend and fellow evaluator, Dave Conrad. I supplied Dave with
a bottle of EXCITE and we were off to the woods. On the second day of the
hunt I placed the scent on a few branches and then left the bottle sitting
on the ground with the lid off.
An hour later a buck appeared high on the hill and slowly made his way
toward me. He crossed a small drainage ditch and came right in to the EXCITE,
stuck his nose directly on the bottle, and almost tipped it over. After
thoroughly checking out the bottle and a few of the coated branches he
moved on his way. That was exciting (no pun intended)!
Dave also used the scent and scored on a 140 class 10 point. You can
see a picture of this impressive animal (the deer that is) on the front
page of Bowhunting.net.
Next up was my home state of Pennsylvania. On the last day of our archery
season I used EXCITE to make a drag-line to my stand. Sitting almost 25
feet in the air, I had a great view of the woods around me. Shortly after
daylight a buck followed my EXCITE covered drag-line to within 8 yards
of my tree. He now resides in my freezer!
As you can tell I am very impressed with Wildlife Research Center's
EXCITE Scent. The consistency is perfect and the potency remains for a
long time. This is one of the best scent products I have ever used - and
I have tried a bunch. This one is definitely a keeper!
Usability: 5 of 5
Because of the thickness and sticky consistency of EXCITE it is ultra
easy to apply.
Value: 4.5 of 5
At only $9.99 per 1oz bottle and considering the results during
limited testing you could hardly go wrong!
