I have been told from someone that co-owned and operated a deer attractant company that anise oil is the absolute best non sexual deer attractant you can use.

No, No, No.

Try it first, THEN get back to me on your success.

Vanilla smells like acorns

Wow. Opinions vary.

I have some Hunter's Specialties oak acorn cover-up wafers and the orig. Vanilla Killa from the Fitzgeralds.

I can't hardly say they smell anything alike. Hmm? Plus, I've tried eating some acorns and don't recall the smells are similar except for the acorns tasted incredibly bitter. LOL!

i have used vanilla and sweet anise for cover scents for over 20yrs. they both work fine to mask human scent.

someone mentioned WD40, i've seen it use as a fish atractant. spaying it on lures to catch more fish will work at times. i personally hate WD40 for anything,it will dry out and make things rust.

I will tell yall if it works when I go to the stump I put it on. It will be this weekend.

That's a good side-point to make. It's great for ridding an area of water. Some Marines are taught NOT to clean their guns with it because it's not a long term lubrication or protectant. I mainly use it for cleaning metal and some light lube situations.

For the na sayers, Try it in a mock scrape and see who comes. Put up a trail cam so you have proof.
