i got a related story...

last year i was in my stand. a mature doe and fawn came through feeding. the mature doe walked DIRECTLY under my stand. i couldnt see her for a while because she was eating from the base of my tree. i use a climber and setup my climber there probably 10x in 3 weeks there. i know...rookie mistake of overhunting a spot. walked around the base of that tree in leather boots 100 times..touched the tree, laid down my bow and pack there etc. she never cared. till i realized my pull up rope was still hanging from my stand. it hit her back so she sniffed it. thats one item i know i never sprayed and touched with bare hands that werent sprayed. dont know why i didnt pull it up that hunt...i always do. she sniffed it and the ole tail went up...she didnt stick around much longer.

definently made me a believe of my spray...
