I don't think the goal was to have the buck eat the cotton ball.  I think the goal was to get the buck to stand in a spot where he could be shot and killed.  The picture seems to indicate he was successful.  

Ok. Piss on the ground there.....or leave a piece of bacon

what's strange about a natural acorn scent?
My nice 3 year old 8 Buck from last season was stopped by some home-brew acorn scent I sprayed in front of my stand.
Never had that happen with mature Bucks when using pee scents

Can we get that recipe for the acorn spray? Think you posted your procedure once before

Very simple:

I gather up a couple pounds of freshly dropped acorns, split them open a little, and them boiled 'em up for 20ish minutes. You then need to strain off and filter the water (I used coffee filters) if you plan to use it in a spray bottle. Grit will quickly clog the spray otherwise. Some folk throw in bits of twigs and pine into the pot. I suspect the best approach is to include whatever exists in the area being hunted.

The resulting concoction is actually quite sweet. I plan a fresh batch soon and will put a camera over the test spray area.

Oh, be sure and keep any home-brew acorn scent in jar in the refrigerator when not in use. It will develop mold if left out at room temps. I brewed a batch today and sprayed in front of a couple of cameras. First time testing it before the season like this. I will report back in a week with results. Last year was my first year trying it out. Smells great! 

Also, I use the metal mesh coffee filters for straining off particulate. Paper filters don't work.

News Flash - Deer don't eat cotton and you appear to not understand the roll of attractants. Case closed.

Ok. So we are in agreement. It's just a strange unnatural smelling item that peaked his interest. Unless you're claiming deer can identify cotton by sight
