I try my best not to dip while on stand but when the deer aren't moving, it's hard not to.......should just keep the crap in my truck so I don't get urges. The Apple blend would probably attract the deer from miles away....it's good, but it has such a strong odor, strong enough that the deer might think it's an entire orhard. haha I still wouldn't advise it though. I like to stay as scent free as possible.
