Kirshner makes some good stuff. His silver top is a good pre rut scent.

Like J-Dog, I had some curiosity on my boots as I walked into my stand a couple years back and later had a doe run across where I had freshened up my pads. It slid a good 2 foot to a stop at the trail I came in on. She wandered back and forth on it for a good 20 min. Never spooked, or followed the trail one way or another for very far, just hung around where I had freshed my boots. I won't say it pulled her in, but it did keep her there.
Why do they call it common sense when it is so rare?

2 Parts Vanilla Extract 1 Part Anise Oil and fill the rest of a 2 ounce bottle with Distilled Water.
Someday you and I will take the Great Hart by our own skill alone, and with an arrow. And then the Little Gods of the Woods will chuckle and rub their hands and say, "Look, Brothers. An Archer! The Old Times are not altogether gone!"

I try to go with no scent at all.  Including my own.  I think that, where I hunt, the more unchanged the situation is for the deer, the more relaxed they are.   During rut I have used some scents and had some luck with them , but not really so much as to totally believe in them.

I've used them all. 3 years ago, I ran across something I've never seen before. Doe In Heat candles. Tried 'em and liked 'em. 2 years ago I found something different....oil based Doe In Heat scent and oil based buck tarsal scent. Had to try it because the price was right. $7 for 2 ounces. This stuff puts all those watered down lures to shame. It's potent! I use the roll up sticks at my deercam sets.

Red Man Golden Blend. Apply in about a 3 foot radius from your stand.

Straight up doe pee. The esterous works for me on unpressured land, but on state land everyone uses it and the deer are almost spooked by it.
Trails End #307 for late season.
Just one more step please!

If the snickers bar doesn't do it for bears, just carry a tuna sanwich in your pocket. That'll do it!!

I try to urinate in scrapes all year long while scouting etc. I also have added "wall hanger" to scrapes as well. Other then that. I prefer no scent added to my hunting spot.
I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
