The point is to minimize the "abnormal" or out of the ordinary scent for the location on your clothes. Will you ever be able to eliminate every particle of human scent on your boots? Probably not, but you can minimize it as much as possible and get something to cover that remaining scent. Will deer be able to pick up the most minuscule amount of human scent on your boots after its covered up with earth scent and/or various "cover urine", I doubt it. Its not like the deer is there smelling your boots directly. They just happen to come across a path in which your boots come across briefly. Since I have been focusing on eliminating my outside odors on my boots, I have not been busted. Now, early this season I did have a bruiser follow the same path I walked in on and just before he came into range and from behind some trees he smelled the fence that I crosses over on. I didn't wear gloves and touched the fence. So he spooked and went the other direction. Its all a matter of how the deer react in your area. Some are more cautious then others. I'm sure its related to how much pressure hunting wise that they get. Whatever you do, if it works for you, keep it up!
