Another stupid but effective thing I've done; I stole one of my wife's apple scented candles and burned it while hunting in a new spot that I had no time to properly scout. It brought in several does who had their noses in the air looking for a treat. One happened to bring a friend along in tow that I put a tag on the antler of.
Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.

Thanks for all the feedback, guys. I feel like I actually learned something new and significant to add to my hunting knowledge.

A kid I hunted with in the suburbs one year swore by this. said they come in nose-up.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

Vanilla, anise, and peanut butter watered down enough to spray through a spray bottle are also good curiosity scents for attracting deer.
For 8 years I lived in the 'burbs and had deer in the 3 acre back yard every evening, up to 17 at one time. I use to put all kinds of stuff out in the yard and see how they reacted to it, watched them work scrapes and jockeying for dominance. Deer are very curious and will check out any interesting scents that they aren't threatened by.

There used to be a oak tree limb that there was a scrape under every year until my Nephew put a scent drippier there. It has been fifteen years and never another scrape. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

YMMV I've heard that they become even more curious if a hunter also drops solid waste from that height, too.

My idea of being organic is taking a dump in the woods.

I noticed many years ago the fact that piss in or near a scrape could cause curiosity or even increase activity. Don't know why, but it does work.
I also have seen that the smell of tobacco will attract deer either through curiosity or something. Not cigarettes, but chewing tobacco. Several times I've had deer walk under a tree where I was sitting 30' above and smell, paw and lick where I was spitting.
The strangest I've seen is the reaction of buck deer to the scent of a woman at...."that time of month". At first I wasn't sure this was a real reaction until I experimented. I "borrowed something from the girlfriend".....used Kotex.....and hung it near a scrape. The next morning there WAS increased activity. The deer had created a NEW scrape under the hanging Kotex and abandoned the original scrape 20 yards away. Since then I've done this a number of times with almost always a positive result.
Note: I tried to get her to go to the woods with me and pee in the scrapes, but she was having nothing to do with that idea.
