You can't cover up your scent. A deer can detect the different molecules in different scents. Think of how manyodors there are on the ground. Put your nose on the ground and you'll smell mostly dirt or grass. Yet a deer can detect where another deer or hunter has walked many hours earlier even though the smell of dirt is much stronger.

This is why drug dealers fail at trying to cover up the smell of drugs even when they put them in gasoline. Even if you jump into a bathtub full of deer pee that wouldn't help, much less a few drops on your boots. Since they can smell 1 part per million they are going to smell you just the same.

Just try and keep as scent free as possible and play the wind.
