my theory on scents and noise
My experience with scents and noise in the woods is different then everything I read about.I hunt from the ground and during bow I just find a spot and sit (down wind).During shotgun I walk around like I would walking down a street ,my theory is if you make them nervous they will be spooked but if you walk like your not a threat there more likily to just stand there and look at you and then you can take your shot.As far as scents go if your down wind there not gonna smell you but if your upwind any smell from your body, cloths,boots,mouth,etc. will make them nervous or curious to what'around them.Every year I get a deer and I don't do anything special,but that's just me.so good luck hunting,and if your not gonna eat it, don't kill it!!!!!!!!
