ALL MY HUNTING IS FROM THE GROUND. I PAY A LOT OF ATTENTION TO MY SCENT CONTROL. I USE COVER SCENTS AND USE THE WIND TO MY ADVANTAGE. THEN I WORRY ABOUT COVER. I ALSO MAKE SURE IF I USE A TREE TO STAND IN FRONT OF ITS GOING TO BE WIDER THAN ME. I ALSO MAKE BLINDS IN FRONT OF ME WITH STICKS AND LEAVES. MAKE SURE YOU DONT TOUCH THE BRANCHES WITH YOUR BARE HANDS. CARRY AROUND SOME RUBBER GLOVES. THEY HELP.

A FEW DAYS AGO I HAD A DOE THREE YARDS AWAY FROM ME. THANK GOD FOR THE CEDAR TREE I WAS NEXT TOO. IF YOU HAVE CEDAR TREES IN YOUR AREA USE THEM. WHEN I WAS SITTING NEXT TO THE CEDAR TREE I GRABBED SOME OF THE CEDAR AND RUB IT ON ME. THE DOE I HAD IN FRONT OF ME WAS ALSO DOWN WIND WHEN IT WAS THREE YARDS AWAY. THE DOE DIDNT SPOOK AWAY AT ALL. IT STAYED AROUND MY AREA FOR ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES. HOPEFULLY THIS HELPS.
