HEY DOES ANYONE USE VANILLA SCENT IN THE WOODS SOMEONE TOLD ME THEYS ALWAYS HAVE USED IT DON'T KNOW IF HE IS TRYING TO GET ME BUSTED BY THE BIG ONE LOL....

Several years ago I went bear hunting (bait) in Maine and the guide sprayed vanilla scent on us each day of the 5 days we hunted. Oh... by the way... in 5 days of sitting over a donut bucket I saw a skunk and a squirrel. And people told me bait hunting was easy... maybe it is if you see a bear, but for me... it wasn't.

I have used it and really feel that the only thing it does is make you smell better after a week at camp without a shower. just kidding....or amI?

You bet Paul, they seem to like the smell. Ive used it as a cover scent, also a drag line . Some people use it with peanut butter as a lure, I was just reading a post, a guy used on his doe decoy and it worked for him.
Hope this helps

Never had any luck with it. I really feel the deer are being educated more and more by us. Anything that is not a natural scent a deer is use to ,I dont use. I never seen a vanilla crop in my woods so I dont use it. Example. I moved to South Texas in the eighties. Bought property to hunt on. Down there you can put out feeders. So I thought I would put out some juicy apples for the deer.I wanted to see what was around the area. I sat in my deer hut and watched every stinkin deer and every other critter take a smell of that apple haven and turn and run away to never be seen again in days ???????? WOW was I stupid.There aint no apple trees in the whole county.They never seen or smelled a apple.So they reacted and there fear factor kicked in and they ran away.
