could be, that or maybe winded you, or?? they just didn't like the fact a STRANGE deer was in there area
I gave up using scents a few yrs back and been happy with the $$ I save LOL
I had a LOT of mixed results over the yrs with scent, more times it seemed to work against me, than help me
SO I stopped using them
I work harder on scent control, than trying to add scent to an area when I hunt
