It comes frozen I let it thaw the night before and hold the bottle in my hand as walk in for a bit more warmth when I get close to my stand I start the drag rag then hang a few wicks around the stand. At least I hope it covers my scent. I did try a smoke stick years ago FastEddie call Deer Sense had a doe walk by and looked at the smoke and kept walking,you also have to watch not to start a fire.
