How to Use Anise Oil to Attract Deer
- 1). Drip three to four drips of anise oil across each area of your clothing, including gloves, boots, pants, jacket and hat. The strong smell of the oil will mask your human scent, and the wind can carry the curious scent to nearby deer.
- 2). Create a perimeter of anise oil around your hide or your hunting area. Dribble a drop every two to three feet around the area so no matter which way the wind blows, it will spread the smell.
- 3). Add deer bait such as corn or deer pellets to your anise-laden area. The oil will not completely mask the recognizable scent of food for the deer, and their curiosity at the mixed scents will attract them to your area.
