I use the BF sythetic line for making mock scrapes. And I use fresh earth scent wafers for a cover scent. I think I'm going to try Fitzgeralds Deer Dander or VK this coming season also.

Fujo i have been using coon sent for about two yrs now and have tride all kinds of stuff. I have tride fox. deer cover up. skunk you name i most likely have tride it but by far coon works the best i have not had one deer spook from it. as a matter of fact i had three bucks come up on me last yr and came in on the same trail i walk in on 30-min before. and they walk right under my stand and smelled around for a min and started eating on acorns. I have had some does do the same thing. with no problem. i have had deer spook from using fox and other sents but never coon sent. its the best cover up sent i have ever use. And beleave me i have tride them all.

I have used Scent Shield Fall Blend and H.S. Fresh Earth in the past. I liked them both. While at Wal-Mart this year, I saw Scent Zapper Real Dirt Formula. Really smells like dirt and is super cheap.

I went away from the norm this year and wore my Danner Pronghorns and doused my boots w/ the Zapper. The day before I shot my best buck to date, he walked on my trail for 50+ yards and never spooked.

No website for the stuff, but it is made for Buck Gardner Game Calls.

I use home made cover up. Can't seem to get the atracting scents right, deer walk right by them.

I try to stay scent free, but I do store my clothes with some earth scent wafers, and I'll hang one in my truck during the season.

As far as attractant scents I've used several, mostly ones that are plain Doe-P until the rut comes. I have shot buck the past 2 years that came those final few yards into my scent, so I will continue to use it. One was silvertop, from kirschner, the other was a doe in heat from stanley scruggs.
