RE: The scent of Vanilla
I've never used cover scent at all. In fact until this year I never did much of anything other than hunt. This year I've tried really hard to wash my clothes in that scent free detergent from WalMart, no fabric softner, then straight to really large garbage bag that I tied up.
After the first day of hunting, I did drop in some of those scent discs from WalMart that smell like a dirt. Dropped them right into the bag with the clothes and sealed it back up. Smelled just like dirt, but it stopped smelling so strong after just about 10 mins.
I've seen less deer this year with more hunting than previous years.
Sad.
