Put Some Air Under That Scent

By Ken Piper

Laying down a good scent trail is a great way to bring a buck by your stand or make him stop for a shot. Scent bombs (a generic term for any number of scent-dispensing canisters) can bring in deer as well.

When placing scent, keep in mind that the higher you put it, the farther the scent will carry. A deer isn't going to wonder why there is scent up in the air. He is going to smell the scent and go looking for the source. The next time you're placing out scent, put a little air under some of it!
