My release stinks!
 
Out shooting tonight I did a smell check on the strap. PEEEEEYEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! With the opener on Saturday I knew it might be time to wash the strap. So even though I probably will hunt with my recurve Saturday morning I may just need an odor free release on Sunday morning.
So a reminder guys, don't overlook the little things when it comes to scent control!

So if your release stinks... does that mean you stink too? :D

good reminder. guys often overlook the little things. everything in my pack gets sprayed...

last year one day i had a mature doe and a fawn come in feeding. doe fed DIRECTLY below my stand. OK leather boots, tree i hunted with a climber 20x and walked around the base 100x and spit and peed down there...im busted...WRONG. she didnt care. for all i know she was lickin my spit. couldnt see because she was REALLY under my stand at the base of my tree. i peeked over and she felt my pull up rope hit her back. for some reason i never pulled it up that hunt and left it hang. after it touched her, she sniffed it. tail went up and she jumped back a few feet. looked around puzzled but went back to feeding. i never sprayed that rope. never thought of it. dont know why i didnt pull it up like i always do...but i learned EVERYTHING needs to be scent free....
