I hear so much about scent. I think sound is more important. Recently, I spent about 20 minutes at a feeder setting up a new trail cam. It smelled new (like plastic) and I walked all over around the feeder. Exactly 2 hours and 16 minutes later, there were deer in the pictures.
A few days later while in my tree stand, I was watching a doe. I moved my head slightly (see was looking away). Just the sound of my neck rubbing on my jacket caused her to whip her head around and look at me. Later she whipped her head up again. a few minutes later a car came creeping down a road about 150 yeard off.
Thoughts anyone??
