RE: question about home made sents
I saw a small article in Field & Stream once about making scents. I actually tried it and it seemed to work pretty good, but it smelled just a tad pungent. What I did was take a bunch of soil, white oak leaves, acorns from a white oak, twigs, and a few pine needles. I boiled the mixture on a camp stove (outside b/c it smells a little when boiling) and basically boiled it until the water turned brown and had a smell to it. Then I bottled it in a spray bottle.....the only down side is that the sprayer would get clogged after awhile b/c the solution tended to "bunch" back together.
Any more I just use store bought scents.....much less time consuming! lol
