Default Coffee spoils a hunt?

OK, so how many guys use cover scent products from Laundry Detergent to Gum-O-Flauge only to have a cup of coffee from the quickmart on the way to the woods in the morning? Does coffee on your breathe make or break a successful hunt? I need to know, cuz I am jonesing for my caffiene on hunt days, but am afraid to get windedfrom coffee breath.

I always drink 2 cups. One at home and one on the way. I try to keep the wind in my face and not worry about coffee breath.

The coffee breath doesn't worry me nearly as much as the coffee "brewing"...if you know what I mean. I have to drink something else when hunting, or I'll be looking for a grunt post before 10 am.....

Strange as it is.

I have often wondered about this. I use a scent lok mask and just hope it helps.

Eat an apple on the way to your stand.

I would be more afraid of all the other smells you would pick up at the "quick mart" getting your coffee. I drink coffee at home and a coke on the way. One thing I learned fishing bass tourneys is to take you a swig of pepto in the morning to keepyou away from the "gruntin" post. Works like a charm.

NY Bowhunter, coffee and then an apple? You surely do believe in living dangerously.

I don't really worry about coffee breath. I think if conditions are such that a deer smells your breath, they're gonna smell you anyway.

I can't believe you guys don't change clothes in the woods.
