I've never tried scents in late season, but if did I'd go with some food type scents, apple, acorn, etc. I do have a favorite curiosity scent I really like to use in the early season, and have yet to see a deer not stop, and take a good whiff of it. Bob Kirschner's curiosity scent. May also want to give it a try in late season, I've always emptied my bottle by late season to give it a try, but if you do, and have any luck let me know!
