Its ture the cow dung is a good cover sent. Im not saying go role in it but i hang my hunting stuff in the garage next to my dads farm clothes. I hunt around the farm so they are used to the sent. I belive it works.

I have them exact same boots, good boots they are. As for the cow ****, the dairy farmers that I pick up milk at have told me that for years that It works quite well for covering your scent. I always figured It wouldn't hurt, you helped prove that one.
I guess you are full of **** Greg!!![8D][8D]

Surprises me you were even in that barn with your hunting cloths and boots on as scent consciences as you are.
I wearMuck boots to eliminate scent. Seems to work for me. They are Thinsulate and I wear them from Sept thru Jan.

Could be wrong, but I don't ever remember Greg saying he is all that scent conscience. Not saying he's a scent slob, but nota scent freak like some. He is 100% wind conscience which probably contributes greatly to his success.

So there I was, Nov 12th 1996, flying down the highway, smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee, windows down for scent control.
LOL, I dont think he is overly scent cautious.
I was just thinking, how weird some of your entrances must look from the road...what would yousay if you drive by a cattle pasture and see some guy was hop-skipping around from cow pie to cow pie....trying to step in as much **** as possible....LOL..has to look weird.

RE: Noticed something about my boots!
see greg, my buddy has a small dairy farm as well...i stop there dang near every night when im home from college. usually that means right after hunting. he gives me or gets me the permission and hunts as well so he likes to talk and game plan with me...can get me on critters pretty well and hes never bowhunted or really stand hunted a day in his life..
but i wont wear an article of clothes or my rubber boots into the barn. farthest i will go is the milk house...thats where i change when we go coon hunting...
ive found you can wash the stuff from your clothes, but boots, its impossible. i had a pair of leather boots i wore to clean a ladies horse barn. not nearly as wet as the cow barn...but there was no getting that smell out/off of them boots.
yes, it may actually HELP and act as a cover scent...but, i still rather try to smell as much as NOTHING as possible. i think that when deer are under pressure and somewhat alert/on edge (like my deer often are) they are more prone to spook at anything foreign. i should "test" the theory and go a year with JUST barn scent...and compare it a year of being as scent free as possible....could save me alot of money and effort....could hang all my gear in one of the box stalls! no more getting dressed in the cold at 0400hrs...

I've found that the "farm" scent is way less alarming to the deer than that "rubber" smell.
