RE: scents
Scents are mainly for covering your own scent so the deer can't detect you.
Some scents claim to attract and draw in deer, but I have yet to have it draw in a deer for me.
A friend of mine swears by code blue standing doe, but at 35$a bottle, it is a little pricey for me.
I usually get a bottle of Tinks #69for 10$, and reley on my hunting skillsmore thanthe so called "tricks" of themerchandisers.
