Nose Jammer Reviews – Does it Really Work?

I think you'll agree with me when I say that beating a deer's nose is no easy task. In today's post we are going to share with you reviews from our staff and also from our readers that have put Nose Jammer to the test.

Does Nose Jammer really work?

Let's find out.

What is Nose Jammer

Nose Jammer is not a cover scent and it is not really a deer attractant. It is in a new category of scent products that are designed to overwhelm the olfactory senses of a whitetail and thereby eliminating their ability to smell other odors.

I'll admit that I was skeptical at first, but read on...

What Does Nose Jammer Have in It?

Nose Jammer is an aerosol spray that contains vanillin and other organic compounds that when used are supposed to overwhelm the olfactory senses of a whitetail deer the same way that a bright light can overwhelm your vision.

I have been hearing about old timers using vanilla as a cover scent for a long time and I believe that Nose Jammer is capitalizing on that fact.

Below you will find reviews from our staff and readers that have used and tested Nose Jammer while hunting. We have divided them into two categories. First are the reviews from our staff and then below you will find the reviews from our readers.

I was introduced to Nose Jammer by a friend. We were talking at my truck after a hunt one day and he asked me if I had ever tried it. I was extremely skeptical and told him that I had not tried it.

He threw me a can and said to give it a shot.

I was skeptical because I was always the guy that took scent control to the next level. My goal was to always be as scent free as possible when hunting, but I decided to break ranks and give it a shot.

On my next hunt, I decided to spray it on my rubber boots and to see what happened. I sprayed it on both boots, sides and bottom and I could smell vanilla. It was a very pronounced smell and, being a purist when it comes to scent free, I was a little concerned.

It was an afternoon hunt and I walked to my tree stand and climbed the tree. I got settled in and had been there about an hour when I spotted a doe and a fawn heading my way through my binoculars.

The way they were heading, they would cross the path that I used to get to my stand and with an old doe, that usually means getting busted.

Although they didn't get within bow range, they did cross my entry trail without any indication that they detected anything out of the ordinary.

That impressed me because I could smell the vanilla on my boots and it was STRONG!

Nose Jammer passed the first test

On my next hunt, I took it a step further.

I sprayed Nose jammer on my boots as I had done the day before, but this time I also sprayed Nose Jammer on the base of my tree and on the tree above my head, when I was in my stand.

The wind was out of the southwest, which was a direction that I expected the deer to come from.

Sure enough, a young buck came in directly downwind and never gave any indication that he smelled something out of the ordinary!

I took video of the encounter with my phone, so while it isn't the best quality, you can see that the deer walks right underneath me and even looks right up at me and decides I am not a threat and just keeps on walking!

Here's the video...

Watch the video closely and you will see that he smells something and looks up at me, but he is not even slightly alarmed!

I was floored!

It is pretty clear that Nose Jammer works on young bucks. Granted I haven't tested it on a mature buck yet. I have been fortunate enough to have the mature bucks come in upwind, but it is only a matter of time before it is put to the test on a mature deer.

Conclusion

Well as you can see in the video above, Nose Jammer has worked for our Managing Editor, John VanDerLaan. That deer passed within a couple of feet of where he was standing when he climbed the tree an hour earlier.

The small buck also traveled right through his scent cone and clearly did not detect human scent.

One of the huge advantages that I have noticed with Nose jammer is that deer are not alarmed when they cross my trail where I have walked.

That is a huge advantage to me.

I will be using Nose Jammer again this season and I will update this post with any findings.
