RE: anyone ever have real luck w/ scents?? i havent!
NO scent is the best way to go....as scentless as possible anyway.
The only positive reaction I' ve had with scents was on a Monday morning when I made a mock scrape....on Wednesday I returned to hunt that spot and while I was connecting my climber stand a buck ran into and stuck his nose in the scrape that I just rescented......one other occassion was on a drag rag, I was walking to my stand and heard a noise behind me only to see a buck, nose to the ground trailing me,....of course he spooked as well.
I use scents, minimally....if at all.
