scent covering
Postman:
I know it ain't primitive, but I am fairly certain that scent cover sprays and doe urine (in the right time of year) up your chances. I have very few deer outing oppurtunities in heavily hunted public areas, so I do what I can . Scouting/hiking last weekend, found a pink marking tape trail right to my stand from last season >:( where I shot a 6 point. there is an older thread around on this subject ( from January, or so?...) with some good stuff in it.
kdub:
ain't nuttin wrong with tearing down those pink markers, after all ther're litter, and youd be doing the parks dept. a service by picking them up. >:D
jamie:
doodoo, urine and smoke. too be honest though an animal will smell ya no matter what you cover up with . wind is what matters.
kdub:
I know that yall have tried and tested it, but why doesn't smoke trigger a danger response from animals? Wouldn't smoke indicate either burnin' woods or the presence of humans to animals, or do they not put two and two together?
Coo-wah-chobee:
Smoke is a natural part of the animal world. Danger responses are usually inacted only when they sense danger NEAR. Smoke in the wind stream is not necessarily dangerous ta them. Animals and humans have been interacting fer thousands of years. They are used ta us. Smoke is a good cover scent as Jamie said as is tobacco when it is grown wherever yer huntin' Disagree about wind unless ya smell like a meat eater (carnivore ).,huntin' deer that is.
Its the movement an profile they see and care about IMO.........bob
