I've used two scents this year, Trail's End #307 and Tinks 69. Absolutely no deer have been attracted to either of them. I've had a couple does, and a couple of bucks walk past my stand, with the scented cotton balls posted in the area, and all of the deer just walked by, nibbled at the ground a couple times, and then kept on walking. They weren't scared by the scents, but they didn't weren't the least bit attracted by them either.
