i have used both and i have definatly do not like the fresh earth sent. i have just been using the neutralizer and it seems to work alot better. next time u are in the woods dig up some dirt with your hands and smell it then smell the earth scent i know you will smell the difference (smells like chemicals) so if we can smell the difference guess how much the deer will. i do use the acorn scent waffers they do seem to work
