Can deer smell face paint?
 
Never used it before. Does it stink? I'm sort of anal about scent control.

I beleave all camo face paint is odorless, but I might be wrong ?
The stuff I use doesn't smell.

I used to use face paint. The stuff I used kind of smelled like a crayon. Now I use a head net. I would like to go back to paint for my elk hunt ( if I draw), if in fact there is odorless paint available.

Well I can tell you some of the Army stuff has a scent. I am thinking that it probably is scent free for hunters but if it has a smell they no doubt can pick it out.

Wore it once and smelt like Crayon's to me. I did not see any deer that day so I can't say either way.

I think they can smell anything. To say it is odorless is what our senses can smell; not theirs. I don't think it is an alarming odor and I have shot many deer using it while bowhunting. I would be more worried about your breath and body odor.

Deer are tuned into human odor. That crayon smell is not a human odor. Some guys pee right off their treestands with no ill effects. I know a guy who smokes on stand and kills lots of deer.

Deer are tuned into human odor.
Not just human order, but any foreign oder. Any foreign oder will alert them at first. That may calm down after getting used to it.

They'll smell your buggers just as easily as they will the face paint.....
