RE: Scent in the woods..?
Rubber sole boots are good for not leaving your scent behind but as the others have said, stay off the trails and avoid contact as much as possible with tree limbs and bushes. Pay attention to your breath also, don't be having coffee breath,ect either. Hunting in a tree stand is a little foregiving especially in hot climate as your scent will rise. Just one more thing, be aware of what scent your back pack may be leaking.
