Because cover scents don't work, I don't use them.
I don't use attractant scents because I don't want to draw a deer's attention to my location.
But that's just the way I hunt. I certainly understand those who like "calling" or drawing deer to them. Kinda' like turkey hunting.
Wow, I can understand attractants but you don't use scent free products? What about for bow hunters?

Oh, I'm a HUGE fan of scent-reducing products, but I don't use COVER scents (a scent that supposedly is strong enough to cover your human scent) because they can't possibly work.

I think COVER scent is the wrong term for these products. It should be "masking" scents. However you are not gonna mask your scent from a deer either.

Personally I use the scent free soap and deo. My clothing is washed is scent free soap. I rarely use any sprays unless they are also unscented. Less scents=more success.

I love the smell of the Fresh Earth stuff but will that scare deer away?
Any smell that is not normal can spook a spooky deer.
I use Cedar chips.Not many places in Tn. you won't find cedar trees.I put them in old socks, put the sock in the wash and in the dryer.I also put them in trash bags to store my hunting clothing.The chips can be reused many times and still smell like cedar.
