Lethal weapon, the gel is better than the liquid, lasts longer and has other glandular stuff in it. Be careful though! If you get it on you it will stink forever!

Used them as a "kid" as I thought I needed some such, but haven't messed with them in over 20 years.  See and kill more deer than ever so not likely to delve into it again.

Back in the '80s I used fox pee I got from a friend in the GA G&F. I had deer and foxes follow my trail into my stand on quite a few occasions. Other than that I never had luck with attractants. I have used scent eliminators but could never tell if they worked or not.
Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!

I once observed a buck breeding a doe  it was during the gun season and someone in our party killed the buck and the doe I dressed the doe and the bladder was full I figured oooboy I got the real stuff here, I went home got a clean quart jar and carefully poured the urine in . Then I poured it on the trails and on my blind for bowhunting, bucks came by and never paid any attention to it . I figured it must be more than just the urine and really, deer pee everywhere .
  When I was young I used to buy Bucks Buck Scent it came in a small brown bottle was some kind of a glandular scent very strong smell kind of a thick mixture . It cost a dollar at the time. I used to put it on the soles of my boots before I walked to my stand ,deer were really attracted to it. I once had a 5x5 come down the trail with his nose to the ground I had dabbed a stick in the bottle and dropped it under my stand he stopped to smell it and my arrow went through him.
   I quit using it when I had a bottle in my pants pocket  Carol washed and dried my pants and the lid came off in the drier. I heard her gagging in the laundry room when she opened the drier door, I had to get in there and clean it out. I also had a bottle of coyote urine on the dash of my truck that froze and broke and ran down my defrosters that was worse .
  Some lures work some don't the gland scents seem to work the best. I don't believe any of the deer urine scents are worth buying . I also don't think the spray that is used on clothes stops human odor.

Baking soda works to "minimize" scent as well as anything and is more affordable.  Elimination is next to impossible.
