Also keep sprays away from the arrow rest and your arrows or you risk making noise when you draw.

RE: How far is your scent trail?

RE: dragging a scent trail

Great tactic! This early in the season, buck scents work best. James Valley's Wallhanger is a real good one. Closer to the rut, switch over to doe in heat scents.
