Arrive at hunting spot.

Get out of truck.

Gather Gear.

Pee on your boots.

Dab vanilla extract behind your ears.

Walk to tree stand location while whistling theme to Andy Griffith Show.

Climb tree.

Kill buck.

Avoid other hunters whistling show tunes.

This is what I had in mind.It's as good as store bought at a fraction of the price.

two 16 oz cups Hydrogen peroxide
two 16 oz cups distilled water
1/2 cup baking soda
1 oz unscented shampoo

mix in a gallon jug and let sit for several days with the lid loose to let the gases out.
pour into a spray bottle and your are all set.
you can also soak some plain brown paper towels and use them for wipes in the field

tramp in a cow pie on the way to your stand. Check the wind. hunt down wind.

apple cooker

vanilla

boiled acorns and let stew a couple days for a tea, spray on pants and boots beofre walking in and occassionally spray in the air when up in the stand

kick up the dirt and rub some all over, will smell like a fresh scrape downwind

everything works for the woodland goat!

Been using this formula for years. Dispense mine from a spray bottle, bottom of my boots going into my stand, around the base of the tree if I'm climbing, on the bark of the tree and/or branches around me and simply into the air every once in awhile. Have no clue to whether it attracts deer or not but it makes me feel like I've at least done something to help cover/confuse my human scent.

Take care...
