Patrick, deer are aware of movement not colors or shades. If you're not waving the fletch end of the arrow at the deer it will not be noticed. I like using tracers, especially when using natural feathers. Are your's rabbit fur or marabou feathers?
Hawkdancer:
Patrick,
The already finished leather may lose the smoke smell. Not real sure about what cover herbs you have wild there anymore, but I would grind some to put into the rub. Out here, we would use sage, as it is the native cover plant. Sassafras has a nice smell, and is native to you. You would probably have to apply the rub occasionally no matter whatnot use. Will pm you re: the pattern link.

Yeah Pat your right I really don't think it bother the deer at all. The indicators are marabou. I like them better than rabbit.
Hawkdancer, Ill try that with the herbs. But after last night and today's hunt I don't think it matters to much. Last night I had a 6 point and 2 does at 15 yards (No shot at all) today I screwed up my chance at a nice 7 pointer at about 18 yards (caught me moving my leg to get in position). None of the deer winded me even though they were both down wind. I use a comercial scent cover that is secented in natural earth. Plus the extra doe estrus I had out may have been why.
I'll send you the link Hawk!
