There are two high-level observances I would like to make. Scent control is not equally important to all hunters. Bow hunters who have to get relatively close to their quarry to succeed -- on the order of 35 yards maximum for bow hunters versus 200 yards maximum for deet hunters (very general range chacterizations here, cut me some slack please) -- probably need to control their scent more carefully. I suppose you don't need to worry too much about scent control when you hunt into the wind and are 100 yards or more from your quarry. Secondly, scent control is not equally important to trophy hunters versus meat hunters. I would guess that bucks are more scent warry than does and big bucks are more scent warry than young immature bucks.
