I have bow hunted on and off over the course of the last 8 years or so. I have shot bows since I was probably 14. My last bowhunting experience involving deer (before today) was when I was 17 (9 years ago.) I say "involving deer" because it has been since I was 17 that I had a deer within range of a bow and had a bow in my hand. I have always been DEADLY with a bow when it comes to target shooting. We all know though that a live target is very different. On that hunt 9 years ago I made a bad shot and lost a nice doe. I have for obvious reasons chosen a gun to make my kills since that time. Only recently have I had the opportunity to hunt a place that I might have the chance to see a deer here and there. I have killed a few off of it the last 3 years of hunting it. Nothing special, but good meat for the freezer.


Well guys I just this is my report fromhunting yesterday evening. I had a nice doe at 30 yards when I was reaching for my bow. At that point she caught the "blow" from another deer DOWNWIND of me and ran. I am sick!! It has been so long since I sat with a stick and string in hand ready to kill a deer and my "stinkyness" BLEW IT!!!

BTW yes I use all the scent products like detergent, sop, carbon blast, etc...
Any opinions on Scent Blocker suits? My opinion is that no matter what you have on you WILL be winded if they get downwind of ya.

All I know is at least I had the opportunity to bask in her presense for a few moments before she left me faster than she appeared. Maybe next time.
