Scent-dispersing systems include a pulley/line assembly and one or more scent-dispensing elements. The pulley/line assembly includes two or more pulleys that mount to trees or other fixed structures at positions above the ground and a laterally disposed line that is routed around the pulleys. The scent-dispensing elements couple to the lateral line and, upon the lateral line being pulled around the pulleys in one direction or the other, are extended out away from or retracted back toward a base one of the pulleys. Thus, by winding out or retracting the lateral line relative to the base pulley, the scent-dispensing elements can be moved out to desired elevated positions at certain distances away from the base pulley, all without having to walk across the ground out to those positions.
