Whitetail Deer HuntingGain a better understanding of the World's most popular big game animal and the techniques that will help you become a better deer hunter.
Hey,
Just wondering if anyone has used the Fresh Earth Cover scent that comes in a little container with the wafers you clip onto your clothing or hang on a branch, ect. If so, have any success stories while using it? I bought some and I guess it smells pretty "earthy", but I have never really smelled anything like that before while walking through the woods.
Thanks,
Chris

I have placed them in with my hunting clothes in a scent proof bag and .......oh boy do they work , make sure the bag is completely closed or you can really stink up a room.
I'm a user of the scent wafers and love them for both cover scent and to store cloths with. I own a can of the earth scent wafer, but have never opened them. White Oak is my choice.

Ditto , but I favor the Fresh Earth version for cover scent . Both work well , I've had deer approach from downwind without being spooked by them . I use the acorn scented ones on the windows of my pop-up blind to cover escaping odors .

I use them all the time. It's one of the best smells in the world. I drop a wafer or two in my clothes bag and let them sit for a few months. By the time I'm ready to hit the field, my clothes smell like the wafers. I also hang a few around my blind as an added precaution.
I might switch to the white oak wafer since there are oak trees in the area. I'm hoping that I can lure a deer or two my way by smelling like a food source.
I use Scent Zapper (Wal-Mart) and it has the 'earthy' smell to it that you spray on your clothing before going out. It has worked GREAT! I had deer com out downwind from me and I was still able to stalk up to them in an openening. I think the earth smell is pretty good for a cover.
I also put one or two in a sealed plastic box with my camo clothes then I also put a fresh on my hat when I am out. My clothes smell like dirt, that's a good thing. So far so good.
Fresh Earth cover scent...Anyone use it?
