Or why doesn't human scent mask earth scent? Is human scent somehow recessive in the scent world? Why do we seem to think that sense ofsmell is an either/or situation? Like I said before, I think the deer can detect the cover scent AND you. Why not? Even humans detect more than one scent at a time. When my wifes cooking, I can smell the onions or garlic for sure but I can also detect other more subtle aroma's as well. If A deer's nose is far more sophisticated, I'm sure that you're not going to fool them just because you add another scent to the mix and if they detect human scent, even in the presence of other more powerfull scents, there gone.

I guess I'm up to 4 cents now...
