x2 i haven't ever had luck with scents but i have extremely good lucks with calls, primarily grunt tubes. i called in a buck during ML season last year to within 80 yards of me. he was still walking straight to me up untill the 245 gr. powerbelt hit him. he was grunting back with every step he took. i have also had success with rattle bags, just not as much as with the grunt tubes.
