For the most part the friendship I have and the companionship I enjoy with a particular friend will out weigh whether they hunt in a similar manner as I or take the same precautions as I do relative to preparation and scent control.
First off the majority of the hunting I do is by my self.Even if I go in to an area with a friend we will divide and be likely at least a 1/4 mile a part.The friends that I regularly hunt with are serious hunters and they are certainly much more conscious than most.One friend repeatedly makes fun of me and the Germ like regimen that I do bit that's ok,it's all in good fun.
