I try not to go too crazy with the stuff, although the expensive stuff you buy chilled fresh or frozen seems to be pretty good.
I seem to have luck only when using for the first time of the season, and that was with expensive stuff like code blue doe estrus.
I put some out and the neighboring land owner showed up and decided to cut firewood in the back of his property which was about 100 yards from my stand on the their side of a creek. After about an hour he left and it seemed like less than 5 minutes later a nice buck walked off his property, crossed the creek and stuck his nose in my scent rag which was hanging about 3 feet off of the ground. I double lunged him with my PSE bow that I had at the time.
It always seemed that I saw deer the first time but that it was not effective the next time I got out for some reason.
