Default RE: Home made Cover Scent !!

My last post on this so here it goes..Predator just answer this question for me. If you can "flood" a deers nose with a stronger scent how can a buck trail a doe across a picked corn field? You have to admit the corn stalks, dirt, weeds, grass, etc. has a very strong smell. The does track across the field has no scent at all to us. So why doesn't the very strong smell of the corn and dirt not flood the bucks nose and he is still able to follow the doe(at a fast pace I might add)that leave almost no scent.

Same goes for a rub and licking branch. They rub and lick these trees and limbs to leave scent for other deer. How can a buck smell the scent of another buck that has rubbed his head on a strong smelling cedar tree. The cedar gives off a very strong smell but they have no trouble smelling the slight scent of the other deer that rub it. Just curious how you explain this.
