None. We are in ag country. Everything is a food source around here. Now if I can find an old apple tree (or better yet an orchard) I will hunt as close as I can. For the most part it is all about wind, ease of access to tree stand, and minimizing intrusions for me. I do throw out some minerals but can't say I really hunt over them. They are nice for pictures and I feel like I am helping the overall herd health, but by the time hunting season is here it seems like they have already been abandoned.
What he said^^^. +1 on the Evercalm. I had numerous close encounters with deer licking it off trees and bedding down under my stand last year
Yes hicks that why I was asking its hard too beat the food we have for our herd. My main trouble is pressure and any advantage will help. I know the right place and right time is key, you can't kill them in the recliner. I will check into the deer calm thanks.
like hunting 40 acres of public ground, lol . Its tough up here to kill big deer.

Many of use it and I can say that I won't hunt deer without smoking up first. I don;t have many options to play the wind. It's the real deal.
I wouldn't think of leaving the house without it on. My grandsons thought grandpa was pulling a trick on them but when they seen the deer downwind of them with their noses in the air trying to figure the smell out they were sold on the smoke idea.
Several times I had deer downwind of me in my woods, they would stick their noses up in the air for couple minutes, calm down and then just feed around me.
But I had Deer Calm there to plus the smoke so which one worked? I don't know because I'm not going to stop using either of them to find out.
