HAS ANYONE HERE EVER USE VANILLA EXTRACT TO COVER UP UR SCENT BEFORE.. I HAVE AND FOUD THAT IT WORKS.. IT EVEN BRINGS IN THE DEER. THE ONE THING I LIKE MOST ABOUT IT IS THAT IT'S LOW COST. BEFORE I GO OUT IT THE BUST I'D RUB IT ONTO MY CLOTHES AND GEAR. AND THEN I'M READY.. WHEN I GET TO MY FAVORATE SPOT I POUR SOME ONTO THE GROUND HERE AND THERE AND WATCH THE ACTION THAT HAPPENS.. JUST LIKE IF U WANT MOOSE TO COME TO U I FOUND THAT THEY LIKE THE SMELL OF FRESH WOOD SHAVINGS

Welcome to the board,
I have used Vanilla extract in a similar fashion although I do not like to have it on me or near me. I have seen deer come in and check it out. It is a better attracting scent than a cover scent - in my opinion.

Me and some friends used it in Wisconsin one year hunting deer but stoped using it when we realized we where in BEAR contry!

If the weather turns really rotten - I pull out the vanilla extract and pour it on the ground at the waterwhole nearest where I was treestand hunting. It works as an attractant for ground hunting. In foul icy weather - I stay out of trees and go to plan B - ground hunt. Also, it works to stop a deer for a trail cam shot.

The previous message posted by Lady Forge wasnt really me it was my husbands post( he cant figure out how to get the computer to give him his own username)Guess ill have to try to do it for him.I told him out in the cold with vanilla scent on him in bear country he probably smelled like a big vanilla popsicle to the bears.Yum,Yum.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Ive tried it but had no luck with it.

I have &quot;Vanilla Killa&quot;, made by Team Fitzgerald. I've had very good luck on it!!! The stronger the wind, the better it works in my opinion.

I have also heard that it works well. A guy I met one time told me he mixes vanilla extract with carrots, and swwet potatoes, and makes a sort of mash that he puts out in barrels and he swears by it.
