I was never big on this. Usually just caried fox piss in my pocket. When I got to my spot sprayed it all around the tree. What fo you guys like or do? I'm thinking I might need to change for Bow hunting.

i use the cheap stuff from walmart to spray down with if im walking. If im taking the ATV theres no reason to use the cover scent as the exhaust smell never goes away LOL.
I think being able to use the wind to your advantage, weather it be to blow your scent away from the game or just to use the wind to cover your foot steps is a lot more important than a bottle of cover scent.

I'm probably one of the few who doesn't use cover scents. I de- scent as much as possible but no cover scents

I have been investigating what the deer on my hunting place think about it.
The deer are used to me on a tractor And will stand and watch while I work.
To take advantage of this I placed different scents out where I see deer a lot.
Skunk scent and fox pee make deer walk widely around a spot for several days
doe in heat scent they walk around when its very far out of season but the buck will check the area out when it is getting close to season. I make my own cover scent now out of wild onions. Some times I use skunk scent to keep them from going the wrong way when I want them to take the trail I am on instead of an other one. I have a friend who has tame wolves and tried fresh wolf scat for that purpose but it made them very spooky.

I don't use them. I try and play the wind but I've seen way too many big deer killed by guys who reak of smoke. Heck, my step brother has killed many deer with a cig in his mouth.
Obviously, I don't do dumb things when it comes to scent control, but I don't waste money on those products.
