Make very sure that the area around where the candle is going to be placed is clear of flammable material. Then, light the candle, putting some sort of ceramic shade over it to keep the wind from blowing it out. Wait.
I believe you wouldn't have to light the scented candle.Deer have an exceptional sense of smell.For safety sake,I don't think I would leave a burning candle out there,especially if I was in a tree stand.
