I've used vanilla on/off for many years.I pour it inthe orange scent bottles(at wally world or sporting goods store)with the wick.Hang 2-3 bottles about 25-50 yrds from tree stand.I have many trail cam pics of deer walking up to catch scent.Also saw one about 3-4 yrs ago stand up on hind legs to investigate.The stuff works and its cheap! Good Luck

Sounds like it works on Delaware deer

Going to have to try it. I actually used to use a product many years ago, called "Cover Up" that smelled exactly like vanilla and worked very well.

I would not put them on scent pads and put them on my feet. You know how strong that stuff smells and I can bet you it will get on your boots and cause the deer to pin point you. Try a drag rag instead. Just my 2 cents

I use it on Scent Bombs or unscented tampons(no kidding), diluting it 50/50 with spring water is a good idea since it has a very strong scent. Vanilla simulates the scent of white oak acorns.

I have used it, did not see many bucks come into it but the does loved it.
Some dollar stores have it 2 8oz bottles for a buck [8D]

Deer are quite stupid I say then to follow a scent.. If it is moving it must be alive... I don't think they follow the scent but just investigate what it is... I am sure they are on the fullest alert when doing so also.. I wouldn't put it on my shoe pads either,cause they are looking to see what is making that smell.. And yes,They will be very cautious for sure...
