That is very good advice! Because all that stuff you guys are spraying, dipping, and washing you and your hunting gear in is unnatural to a deer. Even scents like all the animal urine, the amounts your are putting on are not natural to deer. If you are heard or seen before a deer comes into range, no amount of scent control products are going to change the outcome you'll get busted. The whole idea is not to cover your scent because that is not possible, BUT to have the deer come into range BEFORE it scent's you, sees you, or hears you!
Live it up! Doug
