 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

You can put out salt/mineral blocks here, as long as they are 80% salt. Can't be mixed with apples/corn anything else, just salt, minerals. I have 10 or so on my farm, don't really hunt over them, never really seen them used much after the weather turns colder, I put them mainly for the deer to have in the summer months. I have a couple of stands that are in site but that's because their is White oak or persimmons in the area. ;)

Deer have a stronger nose than a dog and a dog can smell every ingredient in a cake separately. So you can use a scent but it will not prevent the deer from actually smelling your scent. It only covers scents to us.  I have been using an ozone generator in a closet for the past year and a half and got amazing results. If I run it the night before ozone says on my clothes and binds with scent particles to neutralize them.

I've got some deer tallow and deer tallow/olive oil soap left if you need scent free soap. It has a pretty good content of glycerine, so it softens skin, too.

Just no added stinkum.

Never used cover, attractant or urine scents. Never will. No need. I have mineral licks on east and west of area. Doe use them heavy during the pre and post fawning. Then, not so much after weather tells them to start putting on fat for winter.’

A good unmolested mineral lick does a few things. If you only have a couple it works better depending on acerage.

A. Doe use them a lot in late spring and summer. They become at ease and familiar when frequenting them.

B. Where doe frequent bucks will check as a matter habit during pre rut.

The nest cover up cant beat an old experienced buck when he gets down wind. Stay clean, use your stand as best you can for forcasted winds.

You get one or two good chances every season. Lots must go right to even draw string on a goodun! Make the most of your opportunity.

I think you can if the deer came from S.C.  You cant use bought lures that were produced from out of state deer.
