RE: cover scent questions
I will have to disagree with all of these. I go as scentLESS as I can. I rather the deer not know I was there at all. All scents even the natural ones can put a deer on alert.
Also, the doe pee and stuff like that shouldn't be worn. I mean, think about it. If the smell is on you...what way are the deer going to be looking (smelling)? You just put added pressure on you and make you easier for them to spot. If you use this stuff, but it on a tree, stump, ground. Something to take the deer's eyes and nose off of your direction.
I really like Hunters Odor Nix. It supposedly breaks down the bacteria, stopping our smell. I don't know what it does, but I do know that I haven't been winded by a deer (that I could see) since I started using it. I have worked in the woods all day then sprayed it on my shirt just to see if it worked. In about 10mins,youcould not smell my sweat at all. So I hold faith in it.Most odor killers are made from baking soda as a main ingredient. I am not sure what this stuff is made of.
Just go scentless and you won't have to worry about alarming the deer.
