Have a great season!

Some deer hunters are just not observant. You hunt the same place every year for 25 years (i could've told you that without you even saying it based on your experience) and because of that you advocate no one need to be persistent about scent control. You just don't understand what's really going on. For starters the deer are used to your scent. Secondly you've got the place figured pretty well. Go some place you don't have figured with your stink and see what happens. Many of the people who advocate scent control are new (their stink isn't known) and they don't have the place figured so they need all the help they can get.
I hunt new places every year, it matters.
