I use a scent eliminating spray and follow up with 2 earth scent wafers. I attach one to each side of my boots when entering the woods.and once in stand I take one off and attach to utility rope and lower down to about 3 ft off the ground. That way I have one with me and one at the base of stand. Sometimes iJust use a scent eliminating spray with earth scent seems to work pretty good. and also I have used the myles keller earth gel U can aplly this to a branch at the bottom of stand and when u leave take it with ya. just wipe off the branch and use it next time. has a real good earthy smell to it........Good luck this year
