I don' t know..... HOW BAD DO YOU STINK?[]

Should be fine... go for it.

You scent is probably gone but that is not the reason why I will leave an area alone for a while.

If a buck was using that area on a regular basis than he surely ran into your scent that day or the day after.

How long until he feels confident it was a one time intrusion and the area is safe again? - now that is the question

Maybe three days maybe ten - maybe never - who knows.

Give it a go - and good luck

Thanks for all the replies. We got a slight rain shower late last night so hopefully that will help. I just can' t get it out of my head just thinking of how that big buck probably reacted when he came down his usual trail through the pine thicket going to the apple trees and smelling where I had been. I sure hope he doesn' t change his pattern!

Thats more than enough time. Sounds like for in for some good hunting.
Happy Hunting

I put my deer cam on one of the apple trees last week and got 28 pictures in 1 1/2 days. I got a total of 5 bucks. On one picture I got 3 bucks locked together in a sparring match under one of the apple trees. 2 of the bucks were smaller the best that I could tell and one was a pretty good buck. It' s kind of hard to see their racks because their bodies are in the way. The other good thing about these pictures is 1/2 of them are day time pictures. There are no acorns here this year so the deer are really hitting the apples hard. I will try to post some pics later!
