Scent for Coues Hunting?

I'm working with a scent manufacturer on some stuff. We had a discussion the other day on scent (urine products) for Coues deer. I told him that I had received mixed messages regarding whether "regular" whitetail scents were effective on Coues.

What do you guys think? Would it be worthwhile to develop/market hunting scents specifically for Coues deer?

I can't say how effective it would be, but I honestly don't think there are enough coues hunters to buy it and make it a worth while investment for you?
I might get blasted for that, but there are millions of whitetail hunters cuz they inhabit almost the entire US and Canada, compared to coues that are only in a few southern states and Mexico. I think that would be the biggest setback.
Good luck either way though.

i agree with that 100%

My thoughts would be that the scent would really only be effective during the archery season which has even less of a following than the general rifle season. The reason that I say this is because of the generally very open spaces that Coues cohabit, making a scent a lot less effective when compared to hunting thick trees. I would say make it if you can though, there are people out there that are willing to buy anything to help with a hunt.
Just my 2 cents

Good question.. I have serious doubts about most scents... I really feel that coues deer would be able to tell the difference... Say for example that you collect urine or whatever from a deer that has been eating hay all its life... then you place this stuff near your stand... There is NO WAY that a coues deer will not notice that all the deer in the area are eating something totally different... Will this scare deer I dont' know.. but just think.. when you go out drinking with the boys and you pee the next morning your urine is pretty RANK...
Will people buy it?? maybe, but will enough people by it to off-set the costs of keeping live deer.
