I might use a little cover scent on occasion in an effort not to spook every deer in the woods. I can't say that it works though. If I forget, I don't care.

As far as attractant, it is a waste of money IMO. If the deer I am hunting get downwind of me to smell the attractant, I chose my stand location poorly. Bottom line.

Plus the scent attractants are so strong smelling, it can't smell natural to a deer. As sensitive as their noses are they probably get high and pass out after smelling some of the products out there.
