Default RE: Ever try negatively scenting deer?

My Grandpa had a trick he used to use to move deer where he wanted them to go, like if he was hunting a spot that came off a trail that branched off and he didn't want the deer to go off a certain way, or he didn't want deer to leave the woods out a certain area, he would geta bag of hair clippings from his barber. Then he would get a bunch of those Leggs knee high panty hose and put a handful of hair in it, tie it off and hang them wherever he wanted to keep the deer from going. I tell you it sounds pretty goofy, but man it was really successful for him. He watched many a deer hit the scent of those bags and then turn and trot right to where he wanted them.
I do remember when I got in my teens and the hormones started kicking in, Grandpa had me out hanging the bags with him, and he said to be sure to only use the leg part, never the crotch area. I said Why not. He said that if you do that, every guy hunting downwind will be heading to our woods!!
