There are two kinds of scents that are commonly used when hunting. The Luring Scent and the Cover Scent.

The cover scent is mainly used to disguise the natural scent of the hunter. There is a wide array of cover scents that you can use including the natural scent of the earth, the trees, and alike. On the other hand, the lure scents are used in order to draw the animal near. More often than not, hunters use the scent of an animal mate so they can entice the prey. Both of these scents are now widely available in most hunting specialty stores.

But whatever scent you choose, it would not be an effective hunting tool as long as you have the human scent in you. It can be from your body, from the clothes that you wear, or from the smell of your breath. Remember that animals are very sensitive when it comes to smell. If you want to effectively catch your prey, then let the artificial scent dominate you.
