I haven't used cover scents for over 10 years.
In this vid the little buck cuts my entrance trail, you can tell when.
I'm only 12 feet high and he passes within 8 yards straight downwind of me.
I toss all of my clothes in those comforter bags with pine/cedar boughs in the bottom.



I reality it all depends on the deer, they all react differently to human odor, course you know that.
I've seen plenty of deer cut my trail and turn inside out, some never even react.
Same with catching my wind, some proceed with caution, some turn tail and some big ole herd does stand just out of range and stomp and snort for an hour.
And of course there are those deer you never see/hear that have winded you.
