I've used a lot of different lubes in my life, from bore butter, mink oil (that really stinks), home made lubes, moosemilk, and while deer will be curious and carefularound me, they never seemed to avoid me because of the smell of the lube. Normally it is something I do that gives my position away.

Uusally it is that second snorting doe you failed to see that as you bring your rifle up has a fit and starts her snorting, feet stomping, tail waving, and everything else. Man I hate them deer that stand off where I can't see them. They have busted me more times then I care to think.
