Ah, I forgot.

Also as a trapper, I agree, scent control on your trap sets is a different thing than hunting situations. I check my traps every day, and I need an animal to step in the exact spots where I walked yesterday, and the exact spots i caught something yesterday or the day before. the level of contact is much higher, and the frequency demand is higher. I honestly don't do much for scent control around my traps, except wear seasoned clothes and rubber boots, maybe use some attractant/confidence scents from time to time. All I really do is limit my time there. For hunting, you ideally will not cross paths with your target animal, so the demand is different. When I'm hunting, I only need them to come within 50yrds of my location with a bow or revolver, or within hundreds of yards with a rifle. And it only has to happen a few times a season.

Like I said, I don't really go through much trouble for scent control while trapping, nothing what like some of these guys are describing as their per-hunting ritual, and again, trapping and hunting are very different games.
