Default cover scents

xtrmhunter9;

Personally I don' t use any kind of cover scents. But I would stay away from any kind of predator type scent' s. If your going to use a cover scent, I would suggest pure skunk. It' s a oder thats familar in the wild to all animals and deer aren' t afraid of it. Your best bet is to hunt with the wind in your face. and forget about the scents. A deers sense of smell will still detect your presents if your hunting wrong no matter what. No cover scent will remove your scent or hide you from a deer. If they detect any kind of danger forget it. Place your blind or tree stand facing the prevaling winds, use clean clothing, rubber sole boots. restrict you movements to a minimum. Be as quite as possible when going to your stand. Scout the area your going to be hunting, before that opening day. Find out the patterns the deer are using. You should know where they bed, feed, and the trails they use to get to and from them.

I hope this has helped you out some. Good luck hunting this year too.
