Sunset ,
do you remember me telling you at your Gathering about attracting 4 does with persimmons on a handwarmer ? Yes , it does work , and so will vanilla . Vanilla smells kinda like white oak acorns . Food scents generally attract does and younger bucks , the big boys won't usually come to them unless their's a doe in heat there too . If anise(licorice) will draw them I guess nearly anything that makes them curious might . Try various scents on your herd in the off season to be sure .
