RE: deer scents
I use Fox or Racoon Urine as a cover scent and it usually works very well. If I' m near a stream I' ll use the coon stuff. Be careful though because I got busted one time by a few deer, after that I didn' t see much so I stopped useing the fox scent and started seeing more deer. They' ll figure out that when they smell the Fox pee in the same area that it' s you, not a fox.
So in short, when you use it use a lot of it but don' t use it all the time.
I spray my boots on the way in to cover my trail and spray the bottom of the tree I' m in and then the back of the tree once I get in my stand.
