Any strongly scented soap... shove a stick into it and stab it in the ground near your tree, or put the soap in an old stocking, or a onion bag (netted) and hang it from a branch.
The scent is definitely not from nature, and will spook off the deer.
Good luck

I'm in the deciding stage right now, and found the folks here to be helpful. Just today, I had someone answering questions. I was told that the thumb hole was ok, but that you have to let go of the stock to flip the safety.

I appreciate all the advice here. After reading your responses and going back to the Excalibur page, I'm leaning toward the Vortex, but I think that I'll head down to the sports shop and shoot one before spending the money.

Hi, I'm new here. I've been a bow hunter for 30 years, and figured that I'd remain a bow hunter for as long as I could pull back the compound. 3 back surgeries later, I find that bow hunting is going to have to be different.
