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?
I agree they will smell you no matter what if they are down wind thus i feel the most important thing to do is play the wind , Now in my area the deer are very use to being around people and houses so they don't get very alarmed at human scent but if it is backed up by movement or sound then you are busted
