Yea I have had alot of luck with it. Ive had all kinds of does downwind of me and taken a buck with this aproach. Dont get me wrong I agree firmly that scent free approach works. I'm just saying if you wanna try this it will work and it might save ya a little money buying all scent lock and scent free gear. It will only work on a permanent stand though where deer come in every day and can get use to the scent.
