Human Scent?
 
How long does human scent last in an area? I put out some corn yesterday and it was hot so i am sure I left some scent, How long does it last. The weather is hot and really humid right now, in the mornings everything is wet from it being so humid. The wind is off and on, not alot of wind though.

I have heard up to 48 hours. Your right that weather conditions affect it, but not sure how. I do know that rain dampens our scent, and washes it away...

Good post!

I was told ( but don't really believe it ) that deer can detect human sent that been there for a week however it will deperse alot faster after a good rain.

Deer are pretty used to humans laying out corn piles. When my friend re-fils his feeder, the deer start lining up at the first shake of the bag.

Rest assured. They were in your corn by nightfall.

my father and i went out this weekend and sweat all over, but with a large rain incoming we weren't all that worried, it ended up raining for about 6 hours after we left thankfully, but we don't make a habit of going to the woods this close to the season.
