RE: How well do deer smell...????
I was with a guy that got a buck last saturday morning. we drug it out to the main road to feild dress it. It bled out for about 10 minutes while we got our camos off and sharpened the knife. The next morning while we were getting ready to hunt again I noticed another deer had pee'd on the blood patch from the day before and it raked it's antlers over the same blood patch in the dirt road. I'm assuming it smelled the other bucks scent and was marking his territory.
