Cover scent
 

Which cover scent works the best. I have a choice of acorn, dirt, or scentless. Thanks

i try to go scent free as possible, if i use any , it's racoon pee.....the natural stuff , like cow nuggets , even better hog nuggets work great too....

RE: Cover scent
 

My two cover scents are the fresh earth scent wafers and when I hunt near pine thickets I put a dab of pure gum turpentine on the bottom of my pant legs. Both seem to work well.

Knight and Hale has a scent free spray with earth scent.Worked great for me.If I'm in a tree I use coon scent,on the ground doe pee.

I try not to have any scent to me at all. I use scent killer and thats about all I spray on myself. Sometimes I'll put my clothes wrapped over a piece of pine tree in a plastic sack out in the garage for a while....that seems to work pretty good.

Personally, I prefer the scent-free sprays. The acorn and fresh earth scent sprays probably don't smell as natural to a deer as they do to us. It depends on your hunting environment too. For instance, if you're hunting a bog or a swamp, the fresh earth scent might blend in more than it would in Texas. Likewise, the acorn scent should blend in more in the mountains than it would in the middle of prarie country.
The most important thing to remember is that deer don't like human scent.

acorn serves as a scent killer ans a atracting scent deer love acorns

I also try to just be as scent free as possible. Scent killer is about it. If you take a scent free shower before hand and put your camo on just prior to the field its all you should need. I also use a scent free towel to wipe down my equipment also. I do store my camo in a plastic tub full of dried leaves. Then shake them and put them on. Works well for me. I often have deer right under me. Never know I am even there.

I started using Scent Shield products years ago and they have worked well for me.

;) My areas have an abundance of coons. Frequently I go afield with a dab of coon pee on each boot sole and one drop on the uppers.

RE: Cover scent
 

Of those three, my choice would be dirt! A scent killer spray flavored with earth is one of my favorites!;)

RE: Cover scent
 

I place my clothes in a rubbermaid container with area materials for where I am hunting. So I guess whatever is natural would be suggestion. However when in the field I use scentfree sprays now, I used to boil a homebrew mixture but it really didn't do anything the scentfree sprays does.

if their is cattle in you land will kicking up some cow droping help to cover the scent off your boots?

RE: Cover scent
 

Sure it will BK. You can also paddy a few cow piles up and put them in your coat pockets. If they're fresh, then your new scent paddies can become dual purpose hand warmers too. Try it out and let us know how you like it.

All kidding aside, cow manure should work fine as a cover scent if cows are in your hunting area.

no i find the good goat stuff gets in next to your toes works the best ha ha

RE: Cover scent
 

I go as scent-free as possible! I put my clothes in an air tight container with a few pine boughs sometimes. Other than that I will use plain old baking soda as a scent killer! It works as well or better than the expensive stuff!

RE: Cover scent
 

i go scent free with carbon blast.

Of the 3 presented I normally use Fresh Earth , but I also use acorn , and Deer Dander .

RE: Cover scent
 

I've been using the fresh earth spray and scent wafers the past three years. But now I'm thinking about trying to be as scent free as possible. I think the fresh earth scent that is manufactured isn't natural to the deer. If anything I would use dirt and leaves from the spot I'm hunting. I might try some deer dander this year. I'm still up in the air about it. I've heard some good things about it and think it might be worth a try.
