Abstract
A scent pellet that is used by hunters to dispel a game scent into a desired area without leaving a human scent has a pair of hemispherical body members that are coupled together. A game scent is introduced into the pellet through a capped opening located on one of the body members. The pellet is propelled, by way of a compressed gas gun, a slingshot, or by throwing, into the desired area such that the pellet strikes a relatively hard object. Some of the game scent is released through the opening during pellet flight. The pellet is constructed of a material that will break the pellet up upon striking the object thereby releasing the game scent. The pellet can be constructed from a biodegradable material.
