A bottle of deer scent is an essential tool for any experienced hunter. Knowing which deer scent is appropriate for the type and breed of deer hunting you are doing is a key to successful hunting. While deer scent can be found at most retailers that carry hunting supplies, the quality of the deer scent is important. Use these steps to learn more about buying high-quality deer scent.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Decide on the type of deer for which you are going to be hunting for and the scent you would like to find. While you don't have to keep your target to only one breed of deer, it is best to go with only one scent and not mix them. Mixing the scents will make them ineffective as it could spook the deer you are hunting.

  2. Step 2

    Call your local hunting and sporting goods stores to inquire on the deer scents they carry. If anything sounds interesting, go check it out for yourself and ask other hunters if they have used the brand and been successful with it. Deer scents can vary from urine to vaginal secretions.

  3. Step 3

    Check out hunting product websites like Buck Bomb or Cabela's to compare prices and check out what the professional hunters are using. These companies are going to be your most reliable as they specialize in this type of product and are often owned by experienced hunters who test their products personally.

  4. Step 4

    Talk to your deer hunter friends and ask them what they have used. Get information not just on what works, but also on what doesn't. That way you know what to avoid when you are looking for the best deer scent for you.

Tips & Warnings
  • Use products that you are familiar with and trust, unless you are trying a new product and then try to get it at a lower price.
  • Consider deer scents that can be used in conjunction with a deer decoy.
  • Once you have purchased deer scent, make sure to keep it closed tight until you need to use it at the hunting site.
  • Make sure not to store deer scents with others you have. You do not want to contaminate the deer scent or risk using the scent of a predator animal which will scare the deer away.
