dont buy any, save your money. i've had the best success by rubbing the needles on a pine until i can smell it and then making a huge scentless scrape by raking the ground with my foot at least a 3 x 3 foot area, big enough for the deer to see and they can smell that fresh earth scent.
they will smell the pine, they will smell the earth but they wont smell a deer, that will trigger their curiosity and have them come over to scent check the spot.

if you need to add scent, just pee in the "scrape"....it works and its free

bob kirschners widow maker is good, it will scare off younger bucks but will attract the dominate buck, the original "cover up" is good stuff too. i use to put that on my clothes and store them in a plastic trash bag. i put some on my boots and sprinkled it around my stand. then i placed the open bottle under my ladder stand. a mature doe and two young ones came by. one of the little ones started sniffing around and followed my trail right to the ladder. it stuck its head between the bottom rungs and started licking the open bottle of cover up.
by that time mom had me pegged and was going bonkers, snorting and stomping her hoof trying to get junior away from me....it was quitting time to i yelled at junior, that poor little deer jerked its head up and down so many times trying to get out from under my ladder i thought it was going to knock me out of it. it finally fell backwards, got up, looked around for mom who was already gone. surprisingly it took off in the same direction.

i wish i had that on video

i think it was bob foulkrod or dan fitzgerald that used urine from a cow in heat to kill some nice bucks. just grab a rain coat and a 5 gallon bucket. find a friendly farmer and collect all the urine you need.

may not be able to cover it but it can be lessened so its not as alarming to the target animal.
