I've come across a number of bow hunters that swear by coating their clothes and corn in vanilla. Has anyone here had any success with this?

I've found that almost everytime I shite near my stand, I kill a nice one.


But, I eat a lot of corn and pecans.

Play the wind

/thread

I have had deer under my stand without a care in the world and I reeked of Tide and shampoo/bodywash. Wind was in my favor

I would imagine that Vanilla would work just like any other natural scent. I'm a firm believer that artificial scents don't throw deer on alert. Human body odor is what sends up the red flags

I use it on occasion. I bought a bottle of pure vanilla abstract poured it in a spray bottle and filled rest with water. My Grandaddy taught me that trick when I was 7. He's killed more deer than anyone I know.

I laughed my arse off at my dad when he told me this



since then I've had many deer w/in 20yds down wind of me never even think twice about me being there. He shot a bruizer of a 9pt down wind of him while using it
