Actually, I use the sray and I normally don't have that long of a walk into my stand. I wait until I get away from my truck a ways and then spray the drag rag down with the scent. I go about 200 yards to most of my stands and I've had deer comin nose down on the trail I laid. IMO the rag is leaving scent even when our minds are thinking the scent has worn off. Just my 2 scents

Kill a big one! C.H.
