RE: homemade cover scents
The last 2 years I hunted an early season spot near an apple tree. The first day I went out I cut an apple in half, smeared it all over me, and then set it in the tree with me. After my hunt, I would take apples home with me and blend them up. Then I put the juice in a ziploc bag and take some string....I hung this from the vine, and poked a few small holes in the bottom with the tip of my knife, this worked well for me, 3 deer in 2 years from the spot.
Shots that are True....Pass right Through!!!
