Hot Trails

A friendly reminder before season kicks off: Hot Trails® candles use an open flame. Always burn in our Mini Lantern or another metal container, clear leaves and debris from the area, never leave a burning candle unattended, and check your local forestry regulations first. Hunt smart, hunt safe. hottrails.com

Meet the Hot Trails® Mini Lantern — built to hide the flame from approaching deer and hang easily near your stand. Lightweight aluminum with an included hanging loop, and it pairs with any Hot Trails candle. www.hottrails.com

“I've used Hot Trails for years and have always had great success. I've told many others about Hot Trails over the years.” — Wayne McDaniel.

We carry 13 scents, but two are the ones hunters reach for most: Doe-N-Heat, our top seller and effective all season long, and Dominant Buck, the go-to once bucks turn territorial in the pre-rut and rut. Stock up on both now before the season rush + 11 more specialty scents are also available depending on your experience in your location.

It's scouting season. Velvet's still on, bachelor groups are hanging together, and trail cams are filling up fast. Getting eyes on your property now tells you where deer are traveling before the rut scrambles their patterns. What's your trail cam been picking up this summer?

Started in 1991 in a Texas candle factory, Hot Trails® was born from one simple idea: liquid scents fade fast, but candle wax holds fragrance for hours. 30+ years later, we're still family-owned and still made with the same purpose — helping you get bucks where you want them. Who's already thinking about opening day?

“This guy was so big that within a second I decided to pull the trigger.” – Hot Trails Scented Deer Hunting Candles and Buck Lure I shot this guy in Karnes County two years ago and had a candle about thirty yards from where he dropped. I was sitting in a tripod adjacent to a creek/treeline where he walked out with his nose to the ground following almost exactly the same path that two does had walked 30 minutes prior.
