How to scent lure?
How do I use scent lure if I don't have scent eliminator? Do scent lures only work downwind? If I spray at point A knowing there's animals downwind then move to point B to watch point A, don't the animals get scared from my scent already while spraying at point A?

How should I position myself to where I sprayed the scent?

The best way is to be aware of target first. Then choose a vantage point for the ambush. Put a "puff" of the chosen scent where you want the target to be. Search a hidding place and go there. Use again a puff of the scent because it conceal your own. And wait. If you chosed a eye sight targets you shouldn't wait to long.

When you've taken your prey you can use the proper caller to get interested the rest of the pack and even lure the back

That is the basic... You can do much more elaborated ambush, but first try this

When using scent lures, do they conceal your scent for all animals without having to utilize scent remover? And how should I position myself to the scent and prey referencing the downwind?

No to my knowledge. I'm sure that you conceal your scent to the target species. The others, as I remember, keep making warning calls

But, again, no official pronunciation on it

By logic you should use the wind to spread the scent. But I readded that with soft wind the scent spread as an sphere more that an oval... Just I readded it and can't remember where, forget about it.

Better let the downwind to spread the scent. Occam's razor... The simplest is the true. ;)

EDIT. Position yourself totally opposite to an usual stalking hunt

Apparently the scent lure work by spraying yourself and not the location. I tried spraying then using 2 callers for Roe Deer in a close location. I crouched off and went to another bush, then 2 female Roe deer came up very close to me and not the location where I sprayed.

EDIT:
Actually on second try, I kept getting warning calls from the deer when I sprayed like 30 seconds earlier as I moved away. When I sprayed myself again, they started coming. Both lures and me were directly upwind of the deer and eachother.

Mmm... The does (females) will be looking for the first or then the second lures and if you moved or something they tried to identify what is going on there. That's the want roe deer do. (In real life they will run the ♥♥♥♥ out of there, but...)

The scent eliminator works on character, the other scents work in places. That's why I told you to spray your hidding place.

Roe deers as they're programed are a bit stupid, but try again.and I think I didn't explained properly. The scent propages in a cone from were you put it. Maybe the doe was still confused by the lure...

Don't know, if I'm wrong make me know. Always interested

Scents work, man (or madam)! Don't get fooled... They need time and patience... And planing... And luck (the wind) to work, but they do

madam will work, thanks, patience is not an issue, i have just not seen where the scents add any advantage, used them many times and had zero reaction but if i call them in, here they come.

Madam, pleasure.

You can hide your own scent with them. It's great. And you can set ambush far away of your hidding place. Set proper ambush as should be.

The callers in my experience makes the animal go almost straight to you, and that is no the best situation for every weapon. Like with shotgun. Moreover with a herd you want to take the herd out a hiding situation and obviously you want to be far to wait for the bucks (that coward ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ comes behind the does) In this situation scents plays great against callers.

Enough.

Sorry for the brick, madam.
