i know this has been on here before but do not have time to search through the other pages Sorry .My questions are- does it work,is it to late to try it and could it be used as drag?

No don't drag vanilla to your stand. lol It could be used as a cover but your best bet is to scout the right spot.

Def dont use it as a drag. If your looking for a cover sceant but some stuff from k-mart.

It works good as a cover

With the rut being here or almost here, stick with a drag that has doe estrus like Tinks or whatever brand you prefer. I wouldn't be using vanilla now.

Don't know if this will help or not. I've never used any type of vanilla scent cover, but I had a friend that worked at Bath and Body works place, and she said that just before hunting season starts a lot of guys come in and buy some vanilla scented lotion or soap or something like that. She told me that all the guys say it drives the deer crazy. I haven't actually talked with any hunters that use it though.

I keep it out around my stand so the deer get use to the smell for a cover scent

Does anybody use vanilla with success? What do you use extract or lotion? I just smelled some vanilla extract and it kind of had an alcohol smell to it. But my wifes vanilla lotion smells sweet and not perfumey.
My brother inlaw uses Acorn cover scent to the EXTREME. He hasn't washed his hunting clothes in at least 3 years and doesn't play the wind. He sees deer EVERY time out. He smells like a candy factory the smell is so strong. Maybe the same can be said for sweet smelling vanilla.
I'd like to know if anyone has had success with this?

My Dad has had us us the Original Coverup formula since we were young. It works great---has a vanilla smell to it. We use it strictly for covering up our scent not for a drag.
