Default RE: Turpentine Cover Scent

When I belonged to this one club in Georgia many years ago, that's all we used. We had 5 sections of St Regis Paper land. They cut a section every year while I was in the club. This was before the days of total stripping. They left hardwoods and creek bottoms which became major highways for the deer. If you were hunting around where they were cutting you doused yourself liberally with gum turpentine before heading for your stand. Seemed to work to us. We'd splash a little on our hat, shoulders, arm pits and boots. The deer never seemed to get alarmed by it. Everyone smelled the same and always had a can or two in their truck.
