Rochester, NY based Buck Fever Synthetic Scents (“BFS”) recently completed its acquisition of the Buck Fever ™ line of synthetic hunting scents and attractants, previously owned and manufactured by Michigan based Synthetic Scents LTD. The Buck Fever ™ brand, formerly known as HAWGS™ scents, has been producing a full line of pure synthetic scents and attractants, which have been utilized in the hunting industry, for more than 20 years, making it one of the oldest synthetic scent companies in existence.

The Buck Fever™ line of synthetic scents is currently comprised of core 3 whitetail products, a bear scent, an elk and moose wallow juice and a boar rooting scent. The 3 whitetail products, Pre/Post, Rut and Forehead Gland, are the mainstay of the Buck Fever™ line.

Troy Kailbourne, President of BFS, like the rest of the BFS team, is an avid hunter and outdoorsman. “We are really excited to announce our acquisition of the Buck Fever™ line of scents”- Troy said. “With the mounting concern about CWD and the tidal wave of legislation sweeping across the US and Canada that is outright banning the use of natural cervid based urines, BFS is perfectly positioned to fill the void and capture market share that has been largely ignored by the big players in the scent manufacturing industry. Michigan, Pennsylvania, and most recently Tennessee (just to name of few), and 4 of the 5 Canadian provinces, have already banned natural urines, and there is legislation pending in 23 other states proposing the same ban. And while that is the bad news, the good news is that we at BFS have the solution to the problem…. We have, in our opinion and the opinion of countless others that have used our products for many, many years, the best and most effective scents and attractants on the planet and they are 100% synthetic!”- Troy added.

Rick Milham, Executive Vice President and Manager of BFS, is equally excited about the opportunities presented with the acquisition of the Buck Fever™ line. “My personal experiences using the Buck Fever™ scents and attractants have been nothing short of amazing. I have been using the products back to the days of HAWGS™ and these scents and attractants, are, without question, the best I have ever used. With the current trends in the marketplace and the need for a truly effective replacement for natural urines, I feel that Buck Fever™ will quickly become the gold standard by which all other scents ---natural or synthetic---will be measured against.”- Rick said.

Rounding out the BFS team is Mike Price, a long time veteran of the archery and hunting industries. Mike is the Vice President of Sales and brings over 30 years of industry experience to the BFS team.
