Dude, I live in Indiana...where deer are nowhere to be found in most counties. I don't practice much scent related activities. I wash my clothes once or twice every season...and spray down with earth scent. I piss out of my stand every day...and see deer every day. Deer aren't half as smart of what the hunting companies and industries try to tell you. You either get lucky and see them, or you don't. It's probably much different where you hunt. I don't hunt over bait...just scout and ambush them to/from food sources.
