Default How much human scent is "enough"?

If you employ every means possible to control your odor, even down to your in season diet- you will emit less odor, therefore being a tad more undetectable to a whitetail.
This is from another thread....and it's something I've bought into in the past. I still don't know whehter it's backed by science....or simply personal opinion(s). I also know that all deer are probably different in their tolerance of human scent.

But my question would be......Do we REALLY think we're fooling them? Is there such a thing as a "little" human scent that a whitetail will tolerate"? In the past....I've thought that by going through a sound regimen of scent control....we could fool the deer into thinking we were further away than we really are. I'm not sure of that, now. Hence my question. Is there such a thing as a "little" human scent....that a whitetail will tolerate?
