RE: Are you a scent control nut.
I am no scent free nut. yes, I shower, wash hunting gear in scent free soap. I use scentfree deod. on the body, no girl lure or hairspray. Keep my clothes in a rubbermaid container with leaves, stick and earth. Clean out the truck and spray with scent eliminator. I still fill the truck up with gas on the way out of town. Will often wear my camo clothes to and from and boots. I drink pop occasionally once the bugs have died off.
I am however a wind freak, I will not hunt marginal winds, if the wind shifts I move.
Closet I have come to deer this fall, 2 evenings ago 2 does and 4 fawns decided to walk within 2-3 feet of me on the ground. I gave her a snort and she dropped some presents and away they went without a peep. I guess something must have worked!
