Don’t overthink it.

Personally, I don’t typically care for the hassle of attractants. Food brings the ladies to the bar, and frat boys chase ladies. That’s the trick.

I used to set up multiple stands or blinds over a given hunting spot to allow me to hunt different sun and wind positions, but have largely given that up for many years now. An attractant scent, in theory, is potent enough and sufficiently enticing to drive a buck to do something he wouldn’t otherwise do. Frankly, even smelling both human and attractant scent together should (in human logic) build confidence that the area is at least sufficiently safe for the doe to be there, and like I said, frat boys chase ladies...

So in general, an attractant drag should cross near enough to a travel area to draw the buck’s attention, and then the attractant disperser should be placed upwind of a travel area to cast scent to the area. Active dispersant scent should certainly overwhelm the lingering scent of a Hunter from hours prior... so as I said in opening...

Don’t overthink it.
