A scent-away shower before I leave the house is a must. Truth is you can never get yourself 100% scent free but every little bit helps. Where I have so many stands I am able to pick the best one to sit in based on wind direction. I found this website called Scoutlook outdoor weather guide that helps me determine what the wind direction is at my stands on any given day. http://www.scoutlookweather.com/ It lets you personalize it with a scent cone map. I just check it before I leave. During the rut I use James Valley scents like "Full Draw Doe in Heat Urine, Lethal Weapon Estrus scent, and Extasy. These gel scents are the best I have ever used next to my own mixtures. http://www.jamesvalleycompany.com/pages/deerlures.html

I've been told I go a little over board but hey I like having action when I go hunting. I see plenty of deer all season and get at least one every year and usually 3-4. Not trying to brag but it is what it is, I love to hunt
