I think before you get too carried away w/ all the scents/attractants your first step should be to eliminate your scent. Try to be as scent free as possible. We' re talking yourself, your clothes, your equipment, your approach to your stand, your stand set-up.

Scents/attractants do have benefits, work at the right time at the right place, and I do use them with some success. But if that buck gets your scent - regardless what attractant you have out - more than likely, your toast!

I think I' d stay away from the scents and attractants. You know he' s going to be there at some point because you' ve already seen him. No need to introduce something foreign to the area.

I guess I' m going against the grain here by saying that I' d recommend using a basic doe P. Its nothing that' s going to scare him, but just takes his nose off of looking for dnager nad calms him down a bit. Don' t get the doe in heat stuff, sometimes you get weird results, but a plain doe P is one thing that even if it doesn' t help, it surely won' t hurt.

I really liked Dukes deer lure. I use the 100% doe urine. I couldn' t find it last season and I used Lee' s and it worked as well. Both are smaller bottler' s not the real big chains, usaully are found in smaller pro shops rather than dick' s and walmart.
