I've tried every scent under the sun and can honestly say I've only killed one buck over any type of scent in 30 years of hunting. Now could it have helped me in situations that I wasn't aware of ?? That could be a possiblity.. I am trying the new VS-1 by Border Crossings this time. At some point someone will get it right because scent is a big part of the Whitetails world from breeding, social life and danger.
