For a store bought scent, I have had good luck for many years with Trails End made by Wildlife Research. Smells similar to sweet anise. And deer are attracted to it throughout the season.
I wash an old rag in no-scent detergent, tie the rag to a piece of twine and put the Trails End on rag. Making a drag rag and tie'ing other end of twine to my belt loop, I drag rag to stand. Make sure to stop about every 40-50yds to freshen rag with scent. When you get close to your stand, freshen rag again and hang rag nose level away from your stand.
Through pre-rut/rut have watched does follow my scent trail in with their nose on the ground like a dog and coming right up to the hanging rag with a buck not far behind.
Have had success placing peanut butter, out from stand as well.
You probably don't have time for this one but one of my favs. is to take apples and pears from here in the yard, mash them into a sauce, add some molasses thinned with the juice, pour in a gallon milk jug, add some shelled corn and shake up. Freeze the concoction and then carry a jug and bust it open by your stand that you plan on hunting for a couple days.
Have had deer eat the block and then the dirt that the juice has melted into.
