    Was wondering what the best cover scent that yall use is. Also wondering what kind of attractant yall have had the most luck with; as in urine or salt licks/acorn stuff.

    The only cover scent I use is the fresh earth dryer sheets.

    Best attractant I've found is a tarsal gland off a deer. Harvest a buck during the rut, and freeze the gland until rut next season. Nothing better than the real thing.

    buck fever's products never spoil unlike anything else on the market, bottom-line! This stuff has awesome shelf life, at least up to 5+ years or more. Don't have to freeze or keep cool either. Better than any fresh bottled natural doe or buck urine from a deer farm hands down...

    Hey, he asked what we've had success with. I've never used the Buck Fever products, and Im not saying they don't work either.

    Me, I'd rather use something that I know for a fact is 100% real because I personally took it off of my deer. I'm sure Buck Fever is real good stuff though.

    I've never had any luck with attractants or scents until this year i started using Ever Calm. It's not billed as an attractant but more of a calming scent that smells like deer and makes them feel comfortable. I dont know if it makes them comfortable or not but i have rubbed it on a few trees and bushes and have watched deer walk up and smell it and they didnt mind it so maybe it does what they say. It comes in a deodorant stick and i rub it on my boot soles as im walkin in and then hit a few trees with it around my stand. If nothin else its been fun to watch the deer come to it and not freak out and blow and run off.
