I believe my suspicions have been confirmed. If the deer is close enough to "maybe" smell your clothes/gear, he is definately close enough to smell you. You do not hunt in a rubber bubble. Maybe the products work, but they will NEVER get you "Scent-free". Hunt the wind no matter what. If it switches on you and you still get lucky, then look at it as just that, "luck". It will not happen every time I can assure you. You hunt the wrong wind on purpose, or by accident, no amount of scent control is gonna work every time.

So you think a Buck can tell how far away you are regardless of the strength of the scent you are allowing to escape?
Just curious!
In my area I doubt a Buck spends many days out of the year without encountering human scent. I think the strength of that scent determines how they react.
As for me I'll keep using the best scent control regimen I can, keep hunting the wind, and keep giving my Taxidermist business.
If I depended on luck onlyI doubt I would ever do much good, as I have never been lucky. It does seem the more I hunt, the more I watch my scent, the Luckier I get though
