		There just isn’t many brands in the hunting 
		industry that have reached the half-century mark, and fewer still are 
		under control of the original owner. Buck Stop qualifies on both counts. 
		 
		Don Garbow launched Buck Stop Lure Company in the fall of 1953. His 
		first products, a concentrated apple scent for deer, was soon joined by 
		other hunting, trapping and dog training scents. 
		 
		In 1971, Buck Stop started something of a revolution in the hunting 
		industry when it introduced the first commercially available doe estrus 
		scent. Mate-TriksŪ, the Original Doe-In-HeatŪ Scent, was joined by other 
		“sex scents” from Stanton, Michigan.  
		 
		Buck Stop’s quality control, customer care and their strong promotions 
		have allowed them to keep going strong. While Mate-TriksŪ is still the 
		company’s number one seller, Buck Stop’s product line has grown to over 
		130 products over the past half-century.
