Made with 100% Real White Oak Acorn
Shines Scents are the only scents on the market made with real white acorn. The aroma of white acorn is especially attractive to white-tailed deer, making their noses their own worst enemy.
Trusted by hunters for nearly 30 years
Using his passion for hunting, experience in the woods, and more than a little Southern gumption, Bill Gothard founded Shines in 1997 so that hunters everywhere could reap the benefits of the white acorn scent.
What started in his Columbiana, Alabama kitchen has grown to become a go-to resource for serious hunters across this great country, and beyond.
Family-owned and Hunter-owned
Since 2026, Shines has been owned and operated by Dylan Stewart and his wife Liz. For Dylan, hunting is about more than the pursuit; it’s about slowing down, appreciating God’s creation, and experiencing the peace that only the outdoors can provide.
Proudly Made in the United States of America
Hunters understand the value of knowing where something comes from—and who stands behind it. Making Shines products in the USA supports American workers, keeps quality close to home, and strengthens our connection to the community carrying hunting traditions forward. We’re proud to make products here for people who believe those traditions are worth protecting.

A 320-Inch New Mexico Bull
“In the mountains of New Mexico, the country is loaded with brush oaks that produce acorns. Shines White Oak Acorn Scent did the trick. This 6×6 bull scored 320 inches. Thanks to Trophy Outfitters for the hunt of a lifetime—and to Shines for keeping it real.”
Russell Barngrover, AWA World Champion
Straight to the Sprayed Bush
“The cameraman didn’t believe me when I said my secret weapon. Shines Scents. would bring in the deer. We were in a ground blind overlooking a green field, so I put a bush in the field and sprayed it down. A couple of hours later, the deer came out and went straight to that bush”
