scent covering
kdub:
Do you reccomend a specific type od smoke to use? Whenever I have camped out the night before a hunt I have been carefull to keep a set of hunting clothes smoke free from the campfire, but instead I should have been welcoming the odor as a scent covering agent.
huntertrapper:
any smoke...now i wouldnt say cigs or cigars, but like any wood, sage maybe, rub down with wild onion plants or id say hickry smoke, stands out. only if ya got hickry where ya hunt though. :)
kdub:
Probably just sittin by a fire made from the local woods would do the trick. I think that the wind will be in the right direction for my blind this weekend, so as long as it ain't rainin' I should be able to hunt that blind with the wind in my face.

I have shot elk in the burn from the eighty eight fires, at very close range.. for cover scent I stood around the campfire before going hunting in the morning.. even after years the smell of burnt wood still lingers in the burned out areas.elk love torut in the burns and very rarely do I get busted.. KEEP YOUR CHIN TO THE WIND AND COVER YOUR ODOR IF YOU CAN, it will pay off ..Hawk
kdub:
Im hunting in an area where there are very few wildfires, and I have never noticed smokey smells in these woods. Would you say that smoking youur clothes is a practice that depends on the conditions of the land you are hunting, or is it a good all around practice no matter where you are?
