my brother in law has used vanilla for years as a cover and as an attractant. he had been very successful at killing 1.5 year old buck. but here in MI thats about all we have.

i do not use it because i would rather have no unnatural odors around me.

I think it's more of a curiousity scent. Something that though unnatural, isn't alarming at the same time. Curiousity scents are meant to maybe stop deer at a specific spot or draw a deer that's on the outside limit of shooting range, into shooting range.

It attracts bees and gnats in the early season. I used it as a cover scent once, never again.
