Rex Holmes, Jr. 09.04.12
Join Rex Holmes, Jr., the world’s most foremost authority on understanding and utilizing scent, Sept. 20th at the Wildlife Expo Scent Seminar. The event starts at 6 pm and the seminar at 6:30 pm at the Vidalia, LA., Convention Center. The key to getting past the excellent noses of deer and other animals is learning how they disperse, interpret and use scent. A deer has three primary defense mechanisms that he uses for survival–sight, hearing and most importantly, smell. Until now smell has been the least understood and most difficult to fool. Gain knowledge and techniques that will revolutionize how you use scent to your advantage. Learn how scent-control technology becomes your secret weapon, optimizing your hunting experience. Hunter’s will also learn that the myth of “hunting the wind” no longer applies with today’s scent science and technology. Holmes is the CEO of Vapor Trail Scents LLC , an avid outdoorsman’s, and inventor of the revolutionary scent dispenser The Vapor Maker. Holmes’ Vapor Trail Scents company was born out of a need to find a better way to keep animals from detecting a hunter’s scent. He will also discuss the rut, scent control, the secret to never having to worry about wind direction, and more.
My grandfather instilled in me my great love for hunting and the outdoors, My love of fishing came from my father. At about age 5, I began hunting with my grandfather and fishing with my Dad. Through example and instruction, I was taught how to love and respect the outdoors and hunting. As a child I remember wanting to spend every waking minute in the woods or on the water. I remember vividly going squirrel hunting with my grandfather and uncle It was the first time I was using the Browning 12 gauge automatic my father had given me. My grandfather had only taken a few shots, but I used all my shell early. I realized it was going to be a long day for me. Without saying anything to me, my grandfather reached over took the Browning and handed me his 16 gauge with all his remaining shells. That moment made a huge impact on me and spoke volumes about my ! grandfather's character. In my adult life, I have been fortunate to work 6 months out of the year and hunt and fish 6 months out of the year in nearly every state in the U.S. My first love is just being outdoors and enjoying the great wonders of nature because it refreshes my spirit. My passion for hunting and fishing goes beyond just the experience. While I have been hunting and fishing for 50 years, it was just a few years ago in 2009 that I embarked upon the creation of several hunting related products. I launched my business Vapor Trail Scents LLC in time for the 2009 Buckmasters Expo. The Vapor Maker scent dispenser is our flagship product which I believe has the potential to revolutionize the way hunters, trappers, fishermen use scent. All animals survive and live because of scent, even humans. We believe nothing in the world even comes close to The Vapor Maker's ability to keep animals from detecting human scent. Our company also makes a line of all natural sce! nts, but any scent, scent killer, attractant or your own personal mixture can be used in The Vapor Maker. Our website is www.vaportrailscents.com.
