Now this might sound silly but in Mexico I purchased a case of liter bottles of pure vanilla. (it was so cheap it just was crazy. Also the women love it when I give them a bottle of it for baking) I take a strip of white cotton cloth, dip that in vanilla and hang that waist high on a bush up wind of me. The scent blows across me, and smells great. It covers my scent very well. Deer seem to like the smell as I have had does walk right up to the cloth and sniff it. So it does not seem to scare them. And when they get near that cloth, it is a measurement marker as well.

The bad thing is bear love the smell of it and bear will often times come in to check that smell. I used to pour a cap full of vanilla on bear baits when I bear hunted. The smell of vanilla, and when you're down wind of it, its amazing how far the smell travels. It is very strong and covers a lot of mistakes I make.

I use fox pee to stop deer. I will go up trails I hope they don't move off on, and spray that. I have watched deer scent that fox pee, back up and walk around it. Also the smell is terrible.

When rut is on, I have a drip bag that I hang in a tree. It has doe in heat in it. Then I make a mock scrape to be more attractive. This bag only works when the sun is out, so its not running all the time. I have only had small bucks come to that mock scrape though, never anything large.

Plus my blind is carbon lined. Whether that works I have no idea. The blind is old. So I de-scent, and sit in my blind.
