Rub it on trees around your stand, not on yourself.

I use it and it does work as good or better than most.

Been awhile but only because I don't have anymore.  Always had good luck with it.

I have a fiend that is a very successful deer hunter and he swears by the stuff.  He spays it when he gets in the stand and also give a few sprays when deer are approaching.

Speaking of scents anyone use that vanilla scent stuff that was based on some kinda scientific study of plants?

I've always just used imitation vanilla extract on my boots. No objective evidence that it works, but subjectively I seem to have had more success when I use it than when I don't.

Works great! I've used it on the bottom of my boots and also on foliage or area that I want the deer to stop/browse and give me a good shot opportunity. No doubt the stuff works, used to use it all the time when I could find it locally and cheaper. Haven't used it for awhile due to availability. Several ways to "skin the cat"... Very effective if it fits your budget & you can get your hands on it. Smells like they ground up a deer (minus the foul smelling stuff    :)   ) and put it in a spray bottle... What's not to work?    ;)

Used it a few times and I was impressed as it worked each time. Not sure why I didnt start ordering this stuff every year some years ago. It worked that good.
Fitzgerald has been pushing it on facebook, so it's available.

After reading this post, I did a little research on Deer Dander and Cabela's has 120 reviews of "Deer Dander" and most of those positive. I might try a bottle after reading those reviews.

Is there a difference in deer dander brands, I will check walmart. If they don't have it, who else sells it. Thanks

The stuff I had that was older did not have nearly the same scent as fresh stuff.

I've used a version in a stick form like deodorant comes and have placed it on decoys and on a drag that I had on my boots. It appears to have an effect in that I once had a buck and doe come in and on a trail and then follow my path to my stand and not show any sign of being aware of my presence. I never got a shot on that buck but had the pair around my stand for an awful long time.
