RE: APPLE JUICE & VANILLA
Thank you all very much for your input!
I will indeed use (home made) pressed apple juice this season. AND I will let it ferment for a few days befor using it.
VANILLA:
A few members have comented on Vanilla, I can say thay YES this does have a effect. Deer will come in and check it out. I havent had all deer do this but it does grab the attention of some deer.
I would suggest trying it if you are located around some acorn trees.
Thanks again and please offer any other suggestion you may have!

RE: APPLE JUICE & VANILLA
Over the years I' ve tried a lot of different cover scents and attractants, and the one I use the most now-a-days is vanilla extract and anise oil. Mix ' em together and soak a few cotton balls with the mixture and hang them off of your stand. It seems to be more of a calming agent to the deer rather than a food attractant. Works great!

Jred ,
don' t let that juice ferment too long , you just want to enhance the scent , not make hard cider . I ferment mine overnight in pint mason jars , then add one or more of the additives I mentioned . A pinch of ordinary yeast is plenty , store the remaining yeast in the fridge . I make a fresh jar each evening before going to bed , and filter it into the sprayer with coffee filters in the morning . In most states it isn' t considered baiting if the animal cannot get to it to eat it . You can buy all kinds of bottled food scent attractants at the store , so homemade is legal too .
