I don't use any cover scents.

I use scent nuetralizers, but nothing else.

The best scent is no scent, ya dig?

I will admit that I'm a scent fanatic. I use a lot of Scent Killer. I tie my hunting clothes into a garbage bag filled with dirt, leaves, crabapples and sticks, and I'd rather not get dressed until I pull in to where I'm hunting. I wear knee-high rubber boots while I archery hunt, and wear latex rubber gloves until I'm actually set up in the tree.

I also have an old tube sock filled with baking sodaand tied off, sort of like a rosin bag. I keep it in a ziploc bag. I pull that out, and dust myself down when I get out of the car.

No gum, no snuff, no smokes, no food that isn't organic.

Earth wafers in my bow case...............earth spray for my stand and me............and I keep some local foliage in with my clothes if I remember........If I don't.......I don't.

My scent routine is basic and simple........takes about 2 minutes and truthfully sometimes I just don't do anything. I am concious of scent but not fanantical about it.

Never been winded by a deer............(I know, I know, I know.......if they avoid me I would never know :eek:) That's life. Sometimes I clang my stand or have to cough or move a little too much.............I haven't noticed a problem with my routine so have no plans to change. I have well above average success in the areas I hunt compared to other hunters so that is enough for me.

On the way in to my stand I use my rubber boots to kick over a pile of leavesto expose the bare ground about 20yds from my stand (in a shooting lane).....more times than not,a deers nose will be sniffin the fresh dirt I kicked upwhen he gets popped.Curiousitykilled the cat...or was it the mouse....I'm thinkin' deer.

I wash with Scent free detergent and air dry ourside.

When I get to the hunting area Igrab dirt and leaves about 50 yards from the truck and rub that on my clothes. Makes it smell like home to the deer.

Again local farm maure secretions.also on purpose on the way to the stand I make sure I step in the floppers .Let the floppers ooze in to my sneakers between my toes. I am serious . Not trying to be a smart butt.

I tend to just use regular doe urine as a cover scent for the surrounding area that I hunt. I don't use any scent really on 90% of my body but use the Essence of Fall, scent eliminator on my boots.

You can't cover up your scent. A deer can detect the different molecules in different scents. Think of how manyodors there are on the ground. Put your nose on the ground and you'll smell mostly dirt or grass. Yet a deer can detect where another deer or hunter has walked many hours earlier even though the smell of dirt is much stronger.

This is why drug dealers fail at trying to cover up the smell of drugs even when they put them in gasoline. Even if you jump into a bathtub full of deer pee that wouldn't help, much less a few drops on your boots. Since they can smell 1 part per million they are going to smell you just the same.

Just try and keep as scent free as possible and play the wind.
