I've had a doe with fawns walk up close enough to spit in her eye while sprayed with earth scented scent killer(oxymoron?), it doesn't seem to bother them. I always have Fresh Earth discs on the windows of my pop-up too.

I always spray myself and gear down with that, and also have a Scent Waffer clipped on me.

I believe the earth scent acts assort of anattractant! It seems that deerusually come check out a field after the dirt has been overtunered or plowed up. I think they come out of curiosity or maybe hoping to find fresh food or minerals. Thats just me though

Wash my clothes in detergant that smells like fresh earth and store them in a rubbermaid rub with fresh earth waffers. When I go out to the field I spray on Essance of Fall.

If earth scent worked to cover your scent thena deerwould never smell where you walked. Put your nose on the ground where you walk and what do you smell? Dirt.....A deer can smell the dirt and where you walked with no trouble at all. Dont fool yourself into thinking a couple squirts of earth scent will cover the scent you put out. It doesnt and it cant...period
