Default RE: No acorns or pecans

I've used peanut scented lures, we can't bait here. I usually carry PB&J sammiches when hunting somewhere other than my back yard, and I've had deer approach from downwind more than once because of it. They also seem to like the scent of sour apple chewing gum or Jolly Ranchers. I also carry small spray bottles filled with fresh apple cider to scent the breeze. I've heard that the smell of the juice from creamed sweet corn will attract them, but I haven't tried it personally(yet). One thing I've been itching to try is an alfalfa potpouri, I just have to figure out a heat source for it, perhaps a vanilla scented tea light pot? I can get one at the Dollar Tree store for a buck and the tea lights as well. The alfalfa treats at Tractor Supply would give me a good cheap source of material for the potpouri.
