how many scent wicks do you put out?

how many scents do you put out to attract deer and cover up your scent, i was thinkin of evenly spreading 4 of them out down wind from my stand at about 30 yards, to cover scent, bring in bucks, and will help me tell how far the deer is

what do you guys use?

can you reuse a scent wick after the liquid on it has dried, and put a diffrent scent on it?

RE: how many scent wicks do you put out?

I normally put out 4 of them, 3 of them in areas that I hope the deer will stop and smell to enable me to get a broadside shot. I normally take the 4th one, which I tie to my belt and let drag behind me on the walk in, and that one goes up the tree with me to further dispense the scent. I use the felt key wicks and I wash them every time I wash my hunting clothes.
