RE: Your odor from that mouth
Sorry guys. Been hunting for thrity years and killed many, many deer with bow, shotgun and muzzleloader. Bucks chasing does, does feeding through, yearlings following mom, and on and on.
Never once can I say that the fact that I didn't brush my teeth ever hurt my hunt. (I always brush my teeth by the way.) I don't want to fire anyone up, do what you want to do...but to me, it seems silly to worry about my breath.
Sure it is moist and has scent. I just don't see how any bad breath can alarm a deer. Maybe it can, just not by my experience. If I use lysterine, scope or chew dentyne, wouldn't that smell more like a person than halatosis?
One last point, have you ever smelled Tinks 69? If they like that, maybe the deer like bad breath just as much. Could turn the scent industry on it's ear!
