Some thoughts on scents...
So as I was sitting in my stand one nite last week, and watching a couple does in heat run around, I thought of something that I never thought of before. I could actually smell those does myself from 30 yards away when the air current headed in my direction. When I climbed down out of my stand, the odor was still present on the ground, and I began thinking about this. I have never had good luck using scents, and it dawned on me that perhaps I'm not using enough of the stuff. Seriously, if I can smell that doe while up in a tree, that's one hel of an odor right? I normally put a few drops of that stuff on a wick and hang it or whatever.....I'm wondering if that is enough to do the job?? Maybe I need to take about a pint of that junk out in the woods and soak a hand towel with it and hang it in a tree? I'm not saying this to sound sarcastic or anything, but it's got me thinking. Maybe a few drops isn't enough to pull a buck in from 50, 100 or whatever yards away? I'm interested in hearing what you guys think on this..
