As far as peanut butter(for those that bait) take the lid off and screw it to a tree,cut the bottom of the plastic jar off and screw it back into the lid on the tree. next time you hunt you will see deer with clumps of peanut butter on their face.Its kinda funny. I tried the vanilla last year and couldnt tell the difference,but I smelled better than I normaly do.

Not sure how you intend on using the beans. If you grind and make your own scent no problem, but if you are using the whole bean placed as an attractant some states may consider that baiting. Check your local regs. Indiana considers anything that can be consumed as a bait and illegal.

I use vanilla extract.... half extract mixed w water... I spray it on my boots... I do have to say I see deer tracts that cover my own shortly after I walked past that area....... So idk but I think it calms them down

Dave... I do the same and it works they walk right over top of my tracks, and they come stand under my stand sometimes and sniff around a little!

i've of a few people using vanilla essence for pigs here in oz. mainly for trapping them. you could bait them with grain or whatever and use some vanilla too. ??
