Okay, gang, I' ve got one that might be off-the-wall. I' ve been thinking " out of the box" for ways to attract deer in to a stand. What I' ve come up with is this: a scented candle that is not a deer scent, such as the Hot Trails candles. I' m thinking that a deer' s natural curiousity will draw it out of its bed to find out just what the deuce that strange scent is. Hopefully, I' ll be waiting at that place and time, and . . . Anyway, would a vanilla-scented candle work?

I realize that this is a weird idea, but it just may work. I know about the fire issue, and the candle would be in a jar, on a rock, within 20-30 yards of my stand.

Am I nuts, or am I on to something?
