How do i smell?

I have been turkey hunting for a year now and i love it, i haven't gotten a bird, but i love it. I was wondering if scent elimination isimportant at all, or if camoflage does a good enough job of hiding a hunter. im not blaming my lack of getting a turkey this year on it, im just curious.

don't worry about scent elimination for turkeys. use good camo and DON'T MOVE.

Turkeys feed buy sight not scent

Don't move!!!

All above what they said it is true!

If turkeys had a sense of smell as keen as deer we would never kill them!

However,
I do take notice of my scent for another reason! I hutn turkeys in lots of states that deer are present. I have had deer wind me and spook my in coming victim. So I do take care with scent now and try to keep the ole BO thing down to a minimum....

But again it don't matter what side of the wind I set-up on

And to stress once again what others have said - MOVEMENT - will kill ya every time.
