Default Tools Used?

I know the Rut is over in most areas by now unless you are from the deep South. I am just trying to see what everyone used and had "proven" (whether to yourself or someone else) success with certain "tools of the trade" so to speak. So anyway here is a list of items commonly used. Now you just add your vote and give brand name and results you had (possibly time of season, morning/evening, ect. Feel free to vote "other" and explain if you would like.

I think the can call is the most useful tool in my bag. Grunt is quite useful, as well.

Everything on the list except cover scents.

The idea of "cover" scent is fatally flawed because you are dealing with an animal that can detect dozens of different smells at the same time. You simply can't "cover" human scent with something else well enough to fool a deer.

To put it another way, Imagine you are next to your wife or girlfriend and she's wearing your favorite colgne or perfume... if she farts, do you know????

of course not, women don't fart... they can't keep their mouths closed long enough to build up the required pressure, right?

I agree with the cover scent issue. I however do believe that a distraction scent can be used while working the wind, to hold a deers attention away from you.

By the way, deer do fart in the woods. It is a common odor to all animals. Ever been around a horse, cow, goat, ect.?

The way I heard it once is that women dont fart, belch or snore
so they have to bitch (err complain) or they'd blow up!

Most definitely, a distraction scent can be very effective!
