Out of the choices I would say cover scent.
But the best answer is the right wind direction for that stand

Ive found this year mixing it up has helped. Say i hunt a place two or three times with cover scent and shoot or get busted the next couple of times I'll go straight from work or wherever without any cover or eliminator and still see deer and visa versa. If i dont switch up i notice deer do not move while im there but will right after. And as always the right wind is #1. Granted i also dont hunt the place to death.

Wind
& Scent free detergent.

Deer can smell lots of different smells at one time, so I really don't have much faith in cover scent.

X2 and practicing scent control on my boots is as important as hunting the wind to me.

If by attractant you mean acorn rage and corn, then #2

If not everything else combined.
I scent free wash my camo.
Spray the clothes down
Leave them outside all the time in a scent loc bag
Put ever calm on my boots once I get outta the truck
Don't wear my outside layer until I get up in my stand
And pick pine needles on the way and crush them up and rub them on my camo
Spray down once in stand if wind is marginal

Do I still get busted by deer????? Yes but it makes me feel more confident if I think I've done my best to make my self invisible

fawn pee on my boots, never, EVER been busted on entry/exit path
scent-loc clothing..I don't give a chittt what you think of it
scentfree washing clothes, esp headnet and gloves
wind direction if I can
I almost never use an attractant, esp doe-in-heat..it will spook a doe and I like does close by


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

I wash all my hunting clothes including the towels I use for showers in Scent Free detergent.

Then I always shower before I hunt, scent free soap and shampoo.
Spray down with Scent blocker.
Only wear rubber boots.
Never hunt an area if the wind is wrong.
I am probably super paranoid about scent control since I bow hunt only.
