Are Buck Bomb aerosol cans suppose to levitate?

While out shopping at our local Wal-mart store the other day, Delbert and I came upon a new product in the sporting goods department that claimed to help us bring in that better buck to get a crack at him. Of course like any hunter...we were no different, the idea that this product may in fact bring that deer that we had hunted all season brought smiles to our faces.

I started reading the directions on the aerosol can and it stated to shake well for 20 seconds, point in the direction to where you thought the buck may be hiding out and run as fast as you can to your tree stand and get ready for the buck to come running out. Of course I had my doubts so I asked one of the sporting goods sales people...David a tall individual that loomed over top of both of us if this was actually true.

He went on of how he had used this particular product on numerous occasions and  even with his long legs had to run to his stand to avoid a confrontation with the dominate buck in the area he had hunted. So after hearing this we opted to buy 4 cans to increase our chances. Of course David agreed to having us buy the four cans and reaffirmed that to run...not walk back to the stand.

All the way home we sounded like giggly school girls with our new found secret weapon against the swamp buck that we had over the years called the ugly buck. Why you may be asking did we call him the ugly buck? Well he had always sported a fine rack of horns and seemed to be one of the smartest bucks I had ever hunted, but there was that look about him with his crossed eyes and off-set jaw that seemed to be drooling all the time.

I say the smartest because my last encounter with him had ended in disaster. After getting to my stand, my stomach had become uneasy and the need to take a crap had become apparent. The ugly buck had waited in the swamp until I climbed down from my tree stand, ran the 70 yards and dropped my underwear before showing himself. With his crossed eyes and off-set jaw...there still seemed to be a smile on his face.

We could hardly wait for night watch to try out this new found product that guaranteed to lure ugly buck within shooting distances. Delbert and I had set-up a grand daddy stand that would allow both of us to sit together along the edge of the swamp just in case we needed more fire power and also so that we could watch this product in action.

A coin was flipped as to who would set out the cans ( it was decided that if one of these worked so well, that maybe setting out all four would work even better) and who would be the shooter. We figured if ugly buck came in real quickly, that the shooter would be ready in the tree stand to take the shot verses having to run to the stand and try and shoot. Delbert lost the coin toss and was elected to set out the cans.

Delbert stripped off his jacket so that he could run even faster to avoid a confrontation with ugly buck. He went about shaking the four cans the 20 seconds as directed and popped the tops off them. There was also a locking mechanism on the press down button that once pressed would continue spraying the doe in heat pee so that the wind currents could carry it down wind in the direction we figured ugly buck was bedded.

Delbert was just pressing down the last button when the first one started to spin out of control and levitate. It looked to be spinning counter clockwise and started to lift off the ground stopping at about six feet in the air. At one point all four cans had lifted off the ground and were spinning out of control spraying out their contents of doe pee that had now created a fog around Delbert.

It had become so think that I had lost sight of Delbert but could hear the coughing and hacking coming from his direction in the center of the four cans. The last thing I saw was Delbert trying to put the lids back on the aerosol cans. Finally the four cans had lost their ability to levitate and dropped to the ground only after saturating Delbert from head to toe with doe in heat pee.

I hollered for him to run to the stand before being stampeded by a herd of bucks in the area. During all this commotion, ugly buck had stepped out to see what all the fuss was about and watched Delbert trying to grab the cans in mid air to stop them from spraying. I had become so engulfed in watching Delbert that I had not seen him until it was too late as he trotted back into the swamp giving us the middle tail as he went.

I still wanted to continue with the night watch, but the stench was to unbearable sitting next to Delbert. He had me go get the buggy (Polaris ranger) and drive it directly under the stand for fear he would be attacked by a buck walking out.
