Rex Holmes, CEO Vapor Trail Scent LLC will be one of the featured seminar leaders, August 18th at the South Central Kentucky Outdoor Expo. Holmes, a life-long outdoor enthusiast and hunter, is a noted authority on using and understanding scent. He is also the inventor of The Vapor Maker a revolutionary scent dispenser that has the potential to change the way hunters and others use scent (www.vaportrailscents.com). “My company was born out of a need to find a better way of keeping animals from detecting a hunter’s scent. My goal is to ensure a greater, more pleasurable hunting experience for everyone,” explained Holmes
Holmes will be speaking on how animals disperse and interpret scent and how hunters can take that knowledge and use it to their advantage. He will also discuss the rut, scent control, the secret to never having to worry about wind direction, and more. Holmes will also be discussing tips for hunting on public land.
In addition, he will be discussing his June bear hunting expedition to New Brunswick, Canada. He will be hunting and filming with Chris Bassingthwaite of the Northwoods Sporting Journal TV show airing on Time Warner Cable in the NE, and Larry Daniels of Passin’ Time Outdoors TV show, airing in TN and IL. They will be joined by Scott Cronin, Pro-Staff at Derby City Calls.

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.
