I was thinking today....alot of people are super anal about their scent control. Avoiding areas all together as if they are marred for the entire year if you enter the area even once before season. I dont make unnecesary trips by any means, but are we over doing it in a way?

My question is this....How long does human scent remain before it is diminished into untraceable amounts? You walk through your woods, spreading your scent along the way....how long before your scent is gone to where the deer cant detect it? Minutes, Hours, Days? I am curious....Ive always been told a few hours to "let your scent die down"....but thats archery shop talk, alot of bs is traded there.

Scent control soldiers, give me an answer here...
