RE: Goin' Vegeterian
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.

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!

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

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