Default RE: Scent control wanderings...and such...

You make some great points here. I have also noticed the guy on TV wearing his hunting clothes every where and then climbing into a tree stand. I have the same approach as you do about dressing for the hunt, IMO it show you just how much of salesman TV hunters are. I also believe that deer do and can become conditioned to human activity. I don't worry about my scent when checking trail cams or hanging stands and I still get pictures, mature bucks as well as dumb yearlings. I cannot tell you how many deer I have seen come out to feed in a hay field while we were out their bailing, or how many deer have walked right up to the combine while dumping corn. So while I agree that deer can and do become some what conditioned to human scent, I still want to be as scent free as possible when I am sitting in a stand with a bow in hand.
