[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 236077, member: 704"] Over the years I have tried many scents. Only once can I say for a fact that it worked. I had a young buck pick up my tail nearly at the vehicle 1/4 mile away and trail me all the way to my stand. Then lick the lowest step and walk away. Also I have scared more bucks rattling than I have called in. I have seen them at 200 yards and when I rattled they took off the other direction. In the end it's all about playing the wind, staying off the trails, and don't skyline yourself. Maybe 20 years ago I read an article about a guy in Montana who used radio control airplane modules to open scent bottles remotely while watching deer in an alfalfa field on his ranch. On cold winter days they still picked up on it from 1/4 mile. I guess I was impressed with how far they smelled it, but can't for some reason remember if the reaction was favorable or not. Both deer and elk picked up on the scent a long ways off. [/QUOTE]
