If I'm hunting public land I take the easy route..until it 's time to break off for my spots. There are "trails" that hunters are gonna walk. It's human nature. I'll stick to those knowing that the deer know it too. Once it's time to head for the more remote spot I'll be in, I factor in the wind and the expected route of the deer I'm heading to interecept. I will respray my boots at this point and I will go out of my way not to leave any trail that they will pick up on.

Even taking these precautions I have seen deer hit my back trail and never once, recall a bad reaction. I wear rubber boots and they are heavily descented. I also make sure to step in any mud, deer crap or other natural things. As fordescenting I rarely use a scent killer on my boots. I prefer deer dander,and these boots are only used for the walk in and out and on stand. They are not worn in the truck and they don't go out to shovel the snow etc. They are my hunting boots!
