Harvested tongues for scent?!

Saw this and thought it was interesting. I'm going to do a little bit more reading into this thought process. I mean, I guess in theory it's similar to saving tarsal glands and using those to a certain extent.

I guess any part/sent of another deer could lure in another deer.  I see it as a another gimmick.

it's like with anything else. the more realistic you can make a situation the better off you'll be. it's adding another aspect of what's to be expected to seal the deal. I don't think it's worth the effort but to be honest I haven't tried it. i think it's speculation more than anything. i think that old guy had it wrong. the buck giving him the slip probably had his curiosity peaked. all the smells from the typical glands for deer in the area were visiting, but now he smelled extra deer's saliva but couldn't nail down the rest of the smells he'd expect. Is it another buck or doe?  so many questions. i think deer get more scent through their preorbital and other glands. i think there's more specialty mock scrape scent kits that have more of them than just a curiosity scent to get other deer to start using it leaving a calling card that's the real deal.

my biggest oldest buck to date came in confirming two of the three senses but he was still nervous. he didn't see what he expected to. another thing i see a lot now and rattling by taking a couple sets tied together and dropping them in the leaves from a rope while on stand. if a deer hears clashing of antlers but nothing else as if they're floating in the air fighting, then that's gotta be weird to a deer with years on this earth. i think that's some of why people have very limited success rattling around here.

I just pee off my treestand many times while on each sit and it works wonders.

fun thing is for deer hunting i do the same and haven't noticed any issues. bear hunting it's like sacrilegious to not pee a couple miles from your intended hunting spot.

Too bad deer tongues were not a little bigger.  I always liked pickled beef tongue a little better than the hearts.  Pickled moose tongue is about the best wild game that I’ve ever tasted (those are a little larger than beef tongues).  
 

I only ended up with 2 deer hearts last year, so my wife will be doing a beef tongue or two with the batch she pickles for me for Valentine’s Day this year.

idk about pickled but i've heard tongue is tender and full of good flavor. never tried it though. pushed many out of the way to remove the lower jawbone though. lol

Me too, in fact there was  one (in many pieces) laying around here on our driveway somewhere, a few weeks ago:

last year in Tenn, nephew just got in his   elevated blind when he heard my shot, thinking his hunt was about to end , he rattled, just rolling the diced really , and before he could get his ML up a monster buck came running through.
