Lots of good info. I don't use any store bought sent killing products either. I do however smash hedge apples with my rubber boots and with a gloved hand rub the juices all over my boots. This really seems to cover my trail to and from the stands. I won't hunt a stand if the wind isn't totally in my favor period. If the wind switchesI either move or leave. Lastly, get off them field edges guys and get back in the timber where the deer live. You will notice movement every few hours not just that magic hour in the morning and evening.
