So if dirt covers scent so well how does a deer smell where you or another deer stepped on the ground? I'm pretty sure the ground is made up of dirt. What has the strongest smell...the ground or your footstep? If a deer can smell where another animal or person mearly stepped hours before then doesnt it make since they can smell your entire body with just a little dirt rubbed on it.
Yes its good to keep the odors down as much as we can but covering up is a waste of time.
