Attracting and cover scents

osage outlaw:
I copied this from our regulations:

Bait is considered any product that is transported into a hunting area and placed there for animal consumption. Baits can be in the form of salt, mineral blocks, prepared solid or liquid, or piles of apples or other food that is intended for the animal to eat.

For more than 30 yrs, I've always carried a Film canister, with cotton inside and  a clothes pin taped to it - filled with Vanilla extract. wonderful cover scent. Had Deer downwind Danger Close - and not got busted. the clothes pin is for attaching to a sm Limb or Stick - works like a Charm. Bob

Eric Krewson:
I had a lot of fawns follow me to my tree when I used a product called "cover up" many years ago, I it was nothing bit vanilla extract, at least it smelled like it.

I had mixed results with the various flavor of the day deer attractants and cover scents, mostly negative with an occasional buck that would show an interest in them.

I remember when skunk scent was the rage, phew, then fox pee, which wasn't much better.

I used to do all the scent free routines, now I don't wear camo, wear my hunting clothes unwashed for months (wool) until they get blood on them and hunt the wind. I actually have more opportunities to kill deer than I did back in the unscented days, I let most of them walk though.

Clint,
I assume that salt/mineral blocks for livestock are exempt?  Game animals don't care who it is put there for, however.

My wife just bought the oils to make me a batch of cedar/vanilla cover soap. Curious how it works this year.
