RE: a litle confused
TopCop, Get downwind and stay as scent free as you can! I would put out the attractant upwind or in a circle around your stand. I would not put the attractant too near to where you are, as the deer may wind you or see you when they are looking for the source of the smell!
Attractants and cover scents are good, but as I said get as scent free as you can be and watch the wind! You can't count on fooling a deer's nose too often!
