Predator...Some people will not believe anything you tell them or show them. They have their minds made up no matter what facts they are shown. I never said you were hunting dogs...I just told you how good they could smell and that you can't cover your scent. I believe that deer can smell nearly aswell as a dog. I used to use all kinds of cover scent years ago too. You name it I tried it. I say it doesn't work and you say it does. It would seem to me you are pretty young and you need to try these things for yourself. You will learn what works and doesn't as you get more experienced. All I can say is good luck and have a good year.
First......as to my age i'll be 39 in 2 months so I guess you could say i'm young.
Second......my experience started at theage of 10.
mind you,I don't live in the city and I hunt just about all the seasons
not JUST deer.
Third......I guess no matter what some people do they just can'trid or covertheir own scent.[:'(]
Finaly......
cov-er v.to place something on or over.
scent n. smell; an oder v.to smell
The Idea is to eliminate as much as possible of your scent,then
add a more powerful scent than what is left of your own.
This does not mean that the deer CAN'T smell you,it means that
your oder is non offencive because it is in such a small amount.
Also with such delicate sniffers,it's entirely possible to flood their
noses with such a powerful scent it's all they seem to smell.
So ....same to you, good luck as well and happy hunting !
