Never used cover, attractant or urine scents. Never will. No need. I have mineral licks on east and west of area. Doe use them heavy during the pre and post fawning. Then, not so much after weather tells them to start putting on fat for winter.’
A good unmolested mineral lick does a few things. If you only have a couple it works better depending on acerage.
A. Doe use them a lot in late spring and summer. They become at ease and familiar when frequenting them.
B. Where doe frequent bucks will check as a matter habit during pre rut.
The nest cover up cant beat an old experienced buck when he gets down wind. Stay clean, use your stand as best you can for forcasted winds.
You get one or two good chances every season. Lots must go right to even draw string on a goodun! Make the most of your opportunity.
