Well myself I like the wafers. Ive had good success with the wafers and ive had bad. The good success is when I use fresh wafers (buy new every year). another is when I dont use to many I usually put 1 in with clothes and when im dressed I hang 1 on each side of boots. when I get to the stand and get set up I put 1 on utility rope and lower down to about 3 ft off the ground. and usually put the other back in the container and spray down with a scent neutralizer. The bad is using last years wafers, and using to many at one time. I think its to much scent when you use to many wafers. My question is how high are you getting into your stand and do you have alot of cover. I usually get between 20 and 25 ft and try to find a tree with a lil cover behind it. you said that they busted you. I was just wondering ??
