Default RE: dead down wind...

manuman...thats odd. i had gasoline on my hand the day i bought DDW. figured what the heck...i'll test it out right now! sprayed it on...gone. ahhh its wet...let it dry...still gone. made me a believer.

had a big mature doe come in last year with a fawn. came in down wind. the mature doe walked RIGHT under my tree. was eating the suckers coming off at the base of my tree. i use a climber. i overhunted that stand. i walked around the base of that tree 100 times that season. she never even lifted her tail. i couldnt believe it. thats wearing leather boots too! (soaked in DDW before every hunt) set my pack and bow on the ground while i climb, touch the tree etc etc...i thought for sure i was busted. my pull up rope was hanging at that time. hit her back so she sniffed it. dont know why i didnt pull it up that day..but i didnt. always do. i never sprayed it and touched it with my hands alot that werent sprayed. she sniffed that and raised the tail.

made me a believer.

also used White Lightning and a scent spray from walmart..scent killer or something. they all seemed to work. but the one i got at walmart didnt work well on the gasoline test...and white lightning turned everything i own chalky white.
