Deer tongue.......the herb.....
If you have it in your area try it as a cover scent. The geeen leaves have no scent but once they dry they get very pungent. In fact it's often that as we drive through the woods, on dry days, we smell it from the truck.
Smells much like vanilla........except stronger. You can either gather the green leaves and let them dry or gather the dry ones for immediate use. Either put the dry leaves into a plastic bag with your clothes exactly as you would do with green pine needles or if you've found a good stock of them carry a bag of them to your stand. If you carry them to the stand all you do is crush them and sprinkle them about. Do some on the ground and then some once you are in the stand making sure that pieces stay on the stand or in the tree. http://www.sfrc.ufl.edu/4h/Deer_tongue/deertong.htm |

I expected something different.
Deer Tongue Taco Cover with water and simmer for 1.5 hours with 1 bay leaf, pinch of thyme and rosemary. Remove outside "skin" and cube for deer tongue taco. Simple Verde sauce for condiment.

Smells like vanilla? In the early days of scent control products there was a product called "Cover Up". It smelled and looked just like vanilla extract. I have been using vanilla extract ever since.

I could not find anything in the Minnesota wild flowers listing for Deer Tongue or any Carphephorus hits. The link you provided states;

Is the Deer Tongue's vanilla smell stronger than the Ponderosa Pine? Quote:
