RE: The scent of Vanilla
I would stay away from any scent unless:
rut is in......
Any other time stay natural for your surroundings. Use what is around the area you hunt.
If anything just use a scent killer the less scent of any kind the better.
Ooopps, I ahve too say I have used some red fox pee to kill my scent at my stand before but only in bow season.
