RE: Deer keep smelling me and leaving
I don't think anybody mentioned bad breath. Not being ugly or anything, but ive been bustedafter eating dried sausage or jerky. When you breath, you emit a smell. Since you have tried everything else, why not try a baking soda rinse after brushing your teeth? In addition, if you have been busted more than once, the deer are probably being very cautious when moving through this area. I hunt a stand in Texas and deer seem to know that something is out of place at times. They usually are looking for movement to put with the smell. Some are really nervous about it and will stomp and blow. I have seen them do this to rabbits, coons and other critters they can't see, but sense are there. They are looking to get the unkown to move so they can ID it. I don't pull the triggervery often, so I guess they figure Im not a threat, and tolerate my bumping around, squeaky chair, old dude smellsand such.
