Scent control is one of the most important aspects of hunting. I seriously doubt that going veggie will change the way you smell to a deer. If that is what it takes to make you feel better than go for it. IMO there is no short cut or substitute for real scent control by hunting into the wind where you can. I still hunt and keep a puff bottle in my pocket anduse it to detect small wind currents. When I bow hunt I am usually up high in a tree and seldom have had any problem with being detected.

As soon as a buck tells me I smell like a pork chop I'll think about trying it.

I'll just hunt the wind.I'll give you a perfect example.After 3 days at my cabin(very primitive with no utilities)with only taking "bird baths",I was walking to my stand within the morning with the wind in my face,when a 5pt walked right up to me.He was so close,I tapped him between the antlers with my arrow.I shot him at at 10ft
Yeah... That's great... But I am not looking to hunt 5-pointers... I had one come up to me when I was throwing corn out, it would have eaten right out of my hand if I had offered it to him..

I am more after 6.5+ year old 11-pointers!

And I am going to take a wag (wild-ass-guess) and say none of the deer eating marshmallows looked like my deer;)

That 5pt just happened to give me the shot I wanted to take.Here's an 11pt taken from the same area at 30yds after 4 days at my cabin(me in the middle)
