whew....


Did you know that deer can smell up to seven different things at one time?

RE: How Far Will you go to be Sent Free
 

Clothes washed in scent free soap and put in plastic bag with earth wafers and the rest of my stuff.

I use earth scented cover spray and clip some wafers to my hat if I remember.

Shower with scent free soap.........and get dressed in the field.


Scent elimination is one of the biggest money making scams out there. Not that smelling like gas is a good idea but extreme measures are overkill IMO and not needed.

ScentLock clothes should just be called "Sucker Suits" [8D]

Do you mean........blown at ??? ;)

How could you possibly know if you have never been winded..........the quiet ones that just slip away are the ones your probably hunting anyway !!

RE: How Far Will you go to be Sent Free
 

IME, mature bucks very rarely snort. If you're hearing snorts, its does and small bucks.
All this never been winded business is a bunch of BS.

I believe in striving to be scent free, but don't fool yourselves, deer ARE smelling you and probably doing EVERY hunt.

RE: How Far Will you go to be Sent Free
 

I have seen mature bucks that are heading down a trail toward me, turn around and head back the other direction but I have never heard one blow. I always assumed they had winded something when they did this. Also, this may be happening more to me now than it used to but my results certainly haven't suffered so I guess what I don't know won't hurt me.

Repeat After Me:

Hi my name is Andrew, I know I stink, I have been winded by deer. I do my best but I know they can smell me[8D]

Man I get busted alot:)

Most of the time its because I choose not to drop the hammer - and after they mill around and get downwind they catch me.

Of course I have a few areas I could hunt and NEVER, EVER get winded..............................

RE: How Far Will you go to be Sent Free
 

I don't think you can EVER know if you have "NEVER" been winded..... But like I said ......I have never witnessed a deer spooking while on stand after following my scent eliminating approach and have had many bucks 3.5 years and older come in from all directions including directly downwind.

As for wearing sucker suits.... boy I love mine "SUCKER SUIT ! "

heres is 2003's proof the ole sucker suit isn't so bad .... . ALL PUBLIC LAND

I know folks that would pay 3 grand a hunt or more for mature critters. I payed 119.00 for my sucker suit and very little for the scent eliminating spray.


in order 2003 4x4 November, 2003 8x8 laborday weekend, 2003 7x7 bull, oct 29th .....and yes these where the animals I was hunting...have sheds from and have on video.....public land...

Shed thats damn close to a commercial! Only difference was you didn't spout off a name brand:D just playin

Seriously though shed, are you saying that all three animals (in your mind) wouldn't have been harvested by you, had it not been for the "suckersuit?"

BTW nice lookin animals!;)
