I was hunting with my bow this weekend and when I got in my tree I squirt out some of Bob Kirschner's curiosity scent on the ground.It helps to keep my scent away my doing it while in the tree.I entered my tree stand from the back way so I didn't leave any scent on the ground where I thought a deer would come.Around 9 Oclock a small 4pt showed up in the direction I thought he would he put his nose up in the air and started towards the scent.He stopped one time smelling the air and the ground for a long time. Then as he moved closer his tail went up he ran back to where he came from and was gone.I know it was a doe only weekend and I passed on 2 4pts and one small 6pt the 1st Sat. Knowing what I have found on my trail camera's so he was not on my list any ways but I am wondering could the lure be bad. I have used it before with success early season.The wind was blowing towards me if it blew at all.I noticed as my wife did when I opened the package you could smell it with out opening the bottle.I told my wife they must have spilled it or something.I am wondering now if I should use it again for fear if it may spook a big buck if it already scared off a small 4pt.Any ideas appreciated.I sprayed myself down before and when I got in the stand and with the wind or lack of it I know he never smelled me but caught the sent of the lure.
