Doesn't the scent of sunscreen cause problems? All the ones I have ever used are pretty strong scented.
Pat B:
Only if the deer smells it and if he does, he smells you. ;)
JoJoDapyro:
From my understanding deer have a better sense of smell than a bloodhound. There is little chance that they can't smell you, no matter what you do. The wind can be your friend, or your enemy.
PEARL DRUMS:
I cant speak for Patrick's sun screen usage...:). But I have noticed, after a few decades, that deer are scared of human odor. Not so much gas, bacon grease, smoke or whatever else you may have stuck to you. If your human odors drift by their nose your in trouble. They smell bacon, gas and dogs all year long when we aren't in the woods bugging them. That's just my finding, others will have dramatically different spins.
JackCrafty:
Punch, yes, the sunscreen smells strong when you first put it on but it gets weaker after a while. But I can't get close to deer no matter what I do. I usually end up shooting at rabbits and squirrels.
I know I've scared away plenty of game when my hat gets caught on a branch and flies off my head! I break the code of silence and utter a few choice words before I know it. :( So no more hats for me.
