i go with an earth scent on my scent lock suit and a little red fox urine on my boots and a few steps away from my stand. I really like this wild fire elk scent form Wildlife Research it seems to work great. I usually spray a little of that about 20 yards away from my stand and leave the bottle open on the ground. My friend was using this scent and he had a cow come in and pick up the bottle in her mouth and throw it back all over herself. While all this was goin on he stuck an arrow in her.
