    I like Chanel No. 5 the best. I also like a couple of other Chanel scents. I wear it while hunting but I don't think in attracts deer or even rabbits or woodchucks for that matter. Doesn't seem to repel them either.

    I know one that they say works if you can jury up enough nerve and ask the wife or GF for it much less use it, but the people that have swear by it. You old timers know what I'm talking about

    If that three letter reference is to what I think you're referring, you're off base. But there would be a certain spillover of the hormone you want at the time of ovulation. Same principal as the doe urine that costs big money except it would be available once a month, all year round. You just have to figure out when ovulation occurs. (Hint: There is a slight spike in temperature at the magic time.) If the female human in question is on the pill, forget it.

    Good luck talking her into going with the program though.

    I have tried a lot of them through the years, none have ever worked for me. I haven't used anything in years now.

    buckfever synthetics for my mock scrapes... never witnessed a negative reaction in over 10 years either via actual observations or on the trail cams... Application in crucial though you can't go in there applying the stuff stinking up the place and spreading your human scent all over..

    Believe it or not I use a trapping lure that must just strike at the deers curiosity. When I was trapping I was using a scent called GUSTO from Minnesota Trapline Products. It is a strong, nasty, sweet smelling lure. I was getting numerous traps set off by deer so I experimented and sure enough it works. I would stick to using it under cold conditions and it attracts both does and bucks. If you want to try this stuff keep it off your skin and store it outside. I would place it on sheeps wool and place it in the crotch of a tree. It makes a great cover scent also. THE OTHER PLUS SIDE IS YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU MIGHT SEE.
