Goin' Vegeterian
So I am seriously thinking about going vegeterian before archery season next year to control my scent. I know this is extreme, but hey I consider myself an extreme hunter.
Has anyone else done this? Any noticable differences? How early do I have to start, I was thinking two weeks before the season?

I'm not sure how long they did it before hunting.
I read about it in a hunting book, sometime in the 80's
Good Luck with it.

Interesting topic.... I have read about the theory and also know of folks that practice it prior to hunting. In all honesty I have tried both not eating meatfor two weeks or so prior to opening day...never made any difference that I can see. But then, I havealways beencareful of wind direction too.
