my buddy and i both had young bucks come into it... i think it also helps to cover up your scent. I don't spray the whole can at once what I do is spray some on some leaves around my tree and then when I'm up in my treestand I'll spray leaves and branches around me.. then every 1/2 hour or so ill spray some into the air... most likely your clothing and hands will smell from it.. if used this way.
