Bow Season Diet
Do you guys adjust your diet during bow season to control your scent?
Somebody last year, maybe DropTine, was talking about taking chlorophyll pills. I tried that and I was fartin the leaves off the trees, which kind of defeated the purpose.
This season, I am going to do my very best to not eat red meat or sugar, and I've still 3/4 of a bottle of chlorophyll pills I might play with again. I have heard that red meat can affect your scent and sugar gives your urine a sharp odor.
Anyway, are there any foods that you eat more of or less of during bow season? Any vitamin supplements you take?

RE: Bow Season Diet
dehydration gives your urine that yellowcolor and god awful smell. Think that first time in the morning when you have a bad hangover, that is just dehydration. drink plenty of water and the urine stays fairly odorless to a human. Butmany guys do not worry about urine and actually pee out of their tree.

Oh I pee out of the tree allright, I just don't want it stinking up the woods. I am more concerned with my sweat and breath. It is still extremely hot in the South during bowseason and sweating is inevitable. I am just trying to control it.

RE: Bow Season Diet
I've had good success the last 42 years bow hunting without starving myself. Don't think I'll change a thing. Just be wise, work the wind, use proper clothing detergents and deodorant, good camo, and don't make a lot of racket.

RE: Bow Season Diet
My routine is a little over the top, I try to drink a ton of water and only eat rice cakes, but I never have deer detect my scent, here's what I do in addition to a diet.
1. I shave every hair on my body.
2. I take 12 showers per day (I try to do it on the hour)
3. I bathe in scent spray before I hunt.
4. I cover my body in a Carbon/charcoal mud.
5. I construct my camo from the leaves of a Paw-Paw tree.
6. This year I've finally saved up for the new Scent-lok skin infusion surgery (its experimental)
