If you have read "Submissive Hunting Techniques" by me then you know I have many weapons that I use while pursuing the Whitetail deer. Juniper berries are just one of my deer hunting secrets.
The weather was nasty and I had developed a nasty cough. I took cough drops to my stand in an effort to suppress the tickle throat and had just used the last one.
I was set up under a large cedar tree and the tickle was returning to my throat. Just at arm's reach hung a cluster of grayish blue berries. I remembered the taste they had; sort of like Gin Tonic. I picked a berry and popped it into my mouth then bit down into it to release the flavor.
The tickling urge to cough left me immediately! Within the hour I killed the largest buck of my deer hunting carrier ... up to that time.
When deer season opens I always pick a few cedar berries and put them in a little bottle. They go with me on every hunt. They work amazingly fast and last a long time.
In addition to suppressing the cough they camouflage my bad breath.
Once you use them you will never be caught without them. I know I wont!
