I've been using some cheap dirt smell from Wally-World.

I really don't use cover scents, instead I try to minimize human scent as much as possible. If I use a cover it comes from nature.I will step in deer scat on purposeto leave a scent trail from my rubber boots. I have broken off pine limbs and cedars to rub on myoutterlayers of clothing.

I have used fall blend in the past but may try the cover scent formula which was in a recent article in TBH magazine.

My own theory, I would rather smell like nothing. If I do use any, it is home made cedar scent.

Shower with HS green soap, wash clothes with combo of A/H baking soda and HS clothes wash or some type of carbon clothes wash (can't remember name) , use all natural no scent deoderant, but as far as a spray on I use HS human scent eliminator. I didn't use a cover scent this year. In the past I have used raccoon urine spray on my boots and HS earth scent on clothes. I think I like going with as little "scent" of any kind best of all, but that's just my "2 scents worth"

I'm with Shed and Mobowhunter, I don't use any cover scents. I have done some experiments with scents as far as putting them out and seeing how deer react to them. I wont go thru all the details but alot of store bought scents will spook deer. I use evergreen branches and stay natural, but mostly play the wind.

Kick the leaves at the bottom of your tree over. That is my cover scent. Gets a bit tricky in Dec in MN tho!

I cast another vote for nothing. Scent control and playing the wind are what I concentrate on.
