I love this site. I can ask about all the questions that I have always ASUMED I knew the answer to. WHat IS the best cover scent to use. I have head Carbon Scent cover. Here is what I do tell me if this could be better or am I doing this wrong. I lay out my clothes all night to let them air out, then I use scent away soap, fresh earth ( the round things you pin on your clothes) and I have corn around my stand but no deer is eating it yet. ( By the way why is that, does it take them a while?) I have tinks 69 I use around my stand. And what else.......thats it. I think I should get some kind of cover scent but again what is the best to get.

Suggest cedar boughs to help cover. Just to be sure they are covering your scent you might put a hand full of those in the primary scent producing areas.

Hey, size may not matter but it sure IS nice!

A carbon suit is not a cover scent, it is a scent reducer. It chemicaly bonds scent molecules to the carbon, some of which can be released when you heat up the suit in the dryer to reactivate it.
You sould use a good un-scented body and hair soap, and a good un-scented clothes detergent like Scent Killer from Wildlife Research Centers. Dry your clothes in cool air, store them in a plastic or carbon impregnated bag. I like to throw dirt or vegetation from the area where I hunt in the bag with my boots, clothes etc. I don't care if the clothes are dirty, as long as they don't smell like un-natural odors, and do smell like the area I hunt.
If you use a cover scent, use one that is the same as what's in your area. Spray your hands, gloves, clothing with Scent Killer spray, and then step in mud puddles and deer dung on the way in. You can also put deer urine on your boots to get deer to follow you to your stand site. If you have more specific questions e-mail me at [email protected]. I'll help you out all I can.

Hunting for a living is a tough job, but someone has to sacrifice.
