Intersesting, I'm also new here have been Deer hunting for 35 - 38 years I think and have had luck I know using scent pre-during and post rutt. I do have a question though for those who do use scent, I have for the last few years used an expensive scent that cost in neighborhood of $50 an ounce called VS-1 and I've seen results with it but not sure if any better then a scent bought from Walmart. Does anyone here no this brand I speak of and what is your opinion, thanks.
