Cover Scent? What is the POINT?
 

If deer have the ability to isolate and distinquish seperate scent molecules, what is the point of a cover scent?

They'll still pick you off by isolating your scent from the cover scent.

I agree, I don,t use any cover scents. Play the wind and most of the time they won't smell you. I do rub and step all over hedge apples before entering the woods. Even with rubber boots a little precaution helps.

I agree. I used to use red fox urine until I realized they could still pick me out of the mixture! It's kind of like putting out a cigarette in the middle of a pizza -- you can easily distinguish it from the rest of pizza by scent even before you see it and you want nothing to do with it!

I believe you are getting cover scent and scent eliminator mixed up. Cover scent does just what you are talking about but scent eliminator kills odor causing bacterias.

No, no mix up he asked about cover scents.

i didnt mix them up.. COVER scent is supposed to help disquise your scent.. But, deer can distinguish seperate scent molecules. They have to ability to isolate a single scent from others.. Which means COVER SCENTS serve no purpose..

Well then you would be correct, cover scents are a waste of money unless you believe it is an advantage to make deer think that you are an apple flavored human. ;)
