Default RE: A different type of scent control???

It may work, but, I am not willing to risk it. The big bucks aren't fooled easily, and I really don't think that they are going to feed into that.

I know that alot of people around here use old womens AVON perfume on white t-shirts to keep deer out of their gardens, and it works VERY well.

It seems to me that this would just put deer on alert. If they smell this new smell for the first time, they are going to pin-point the location and leave the area. Then, they are going to be skittish for awhile. Well, a few weeks later, lets say that the deer have gotten use to the scent. You are in stand and a big doe comes out. She isn't concerned about the scent, so, you draw your bow back. Instantly, she sees the movement, and pin-points you because she has associated that area with danger before. She is gone and so is your chance. Maybe I am just thinking too deeply. It is 1:36 in the morning and I have to be up in just a little over 3 hours to go hunting
