What comes out your mouth is key! Not your words but your air. We can do everything to keep down our scent but if you mouth has a funk the deer will know. I think the number one reason we get busted is because our mouths produce a foul oder. I have been looking at some of the stuff to cover my mouth. I brush alot but when you have coffee and other things in the morning it makes a difference.

Have confidence in your ability to make the shot when it presents itself. It will make you a much better hunter.

And continue to practice shooting your bow during the season.

Be proud of how you hunt, accept that others are proud of how they hunt. Keep it safe and legal, then keep it fun.

When you're hunting mature bucks (4.5+) the most important factor by far is HUNTING PRESSURE. He's alot more likely to be bedded in a 25X25yd overlooked thicket next to a bypass than the prototypical bedding area that has 3 ladder stands around the perimeter.
---To sum it up, use hunting pressure to your advantage by finding overlooked "sanctuaries." Concentrate your hunting efforts when most hunters aren't in the woods ie: first week of archery, late season and be careful not to overhunt your area.

Brush with baking soda in the morning, and bring a baggie of parsley to chew on during the day. Trust me it works!
P.S. don't forget to floss!!!!!
BTW, I'm a dentist!
