If deer could only smell as well as me, I would have a trophy buck every year.

The deer's sense of smell has been definedas incomprehensible to man. We cannot begin to imagine how well they can smell. It is their number one defensive mechanism.

Sure you can see deer with no regard for scent control, but IMO that's simply because there are more deer. Trying that same strategy when you hunt woods with less than 10 deer per square mile will prove disastrous.

There's no doubt in my mind that any hunter that does not realize and appreciate the deer's ability to smell you is making a crucial mistake.
The biggest mistake of all!!
