I killed several deer last year and passed up many more. I certainly believe that deer dander was one reason..I killed two nice bucks and both of them came right in after sniffing the dander, and I mean they came to every tree that I sprayed.... I have some on order again..I spray it on my boots, my clothes and in 25 yd radius on trees when I get to my stand and then I open the top and either sit it at the base of the tree or up in the tree with me... I had one buck come running to it, I killed him needless to say!! I had 2 other bucks walk within 3 yds of my tree sniffing for it..one of them was killed.. I had several deer come out of their way just to check the smell and see and then go away, they didn't eat or drink they just came in range and left after not seeing deer... it works. I never use scents, but this one I have used for 2 yrs with success...good luck here are the bucks from last season!!
