cover scent question
 
what if i used a spray bottle full of dear cane as a cover scent......thoughts? just occured to me because some of it spilled in my bag and i ended up thinking it might have been a good thing

That's an interesting idea. I've heard grape kool aid is a good attractant too but it would stain

I use grizzly bear scent. Any buck with the guts to not spook at a whiff of that is most definitely a shooter in my neck of the woods.

you will get eaten by all the deer in the area. or you could just spray doe pee on you and get effed by all the deer in your area...your choice.

Deer smell in layers.....cover scent doesn't work. One scent will not prevent them from smelling another.

10-4, it's like roast beef. u smell carrots, potatoes, beef etc...a deer can pick out the different smells and process them.

You can't fool an animal that live's by his snout.

Very true. Contrary to what scent sellers want you to believe.
Unless the wind is in your favor the buck or bull is going to smell you. You may confuse him for an instant with a fake scent. Maybe.

I've heard both arguments....So my question is if they smell in layers, and they can smell that good (I know they can), what's the point in worrying about scent reduction? Meaning, why take a shower in unscented soap, use scent killers etc. I've always thought scent killers didn't work that well anyway...I've taken a sweaty hat or something that smells and have tried 2-3 different brand scent killers on it and most don't take out the smell. I have only found one brand that will and it's made locally I think..Odornix...Walmart usually sells it. But I wonder if deer smell the scent killer stuff?

OH what about smoke? Not smoking your clothes but instead actually using smoke...I have heard of some people making a little smoke can and smoking wood bark to cover your scent while hunting.

Might as well use Skunk sent. I think that would cover human sent pretty well :).
