Why buy sent wicks?

When you can make your own that will last allot longer. Just take a pill bottle or old film canister and hot glue a clothes pin to it just below the lid so the jaws are at the bottom. Put some cotton balls in it and put in doe pee and put the cap back on. Take it out to the field clip it on a branch and take the cap off. When you are done put the cap back on and take it with you. Instead of buying replacement scent wicks just replace the cotton balls. You can have allot more cotton balls then scent wicks.

I like your idea for the clothes pin. I have always used a film canister and cotton balls, but I always just wedged them inbetween a tree limb or set them on the ground. The clothes pin is a good idea.

I will add that 35mm film canisters are getting hard to come by since digital cameras have taken over. A nice option is a medicine/pill bottle. Check with your local pharmacy, most will sell you a few unused bottles for a minimal price of .50 or .75 cents each. If they have the dark blue ones they are better as they block out light which causes the urine to break down into amonia quicker.
