A method of producing the scent of deer antlers on a surface by forming an aqueous solution of dicalcium phosphate, and applying the aqueous solution to a surface so that the surface gives off a scent of deer antlers. The solution can be applied to the surface of an object and then a dog can be trained to locate the object, whereby the dog, after this training, will be able to locate shed antlers hidden in the environment or the solution can be applied to a person or object whereby the application will mask the scent of the person and/or object with regard deer or can be applied to any surface to attract deer to a desired location.
