When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.

It is the same when you are stupid.

Deer have very keen sense of smell. I use HS spray cover sent, but I also give the deer something interesting to smell my favorite being the scent of peanut butter, but I know guys who will rub an apple core on their boots before walking to their stand just to watch the deer follow the scent trail.

I use fresh earth scent elimination spray. Wash all my clothes in that, and dry with a fresh earth dryer sheet. I keep pine baughs in my tote with my outer hunting clothes. Inner clothing goes in tote in my bedroom. My hunting boots only get worn once i get to the hunting club. I use HS scent wafers in fresh earth. Pine to me smells fake. And Doe in estrous is positively disgusting. 

When I was in college, I used to use red fox pee as a cover scent. It is all I used, and I saw a ton of deer. I never had a good handle on the wind, but have had deer right in front of me wearing it. I used to bag my outer clothes in a garbage bag. I didn't nothing else scent elimination wise, so either I was very lucky, or the red fox pee is a good cover scent. 

I try to climb high when I hunt, that seems to help. I have been told when its cold, and you hunt in the morning, wind direction is less important. Wether that is true or not I don't know, but I was busted twice during bow season by deer who were not directly downwind of me, and they didn't cross my trail either. So terrain can mess you up as well. 

Just an interesting side note. I few years ago, I was hunting at a club, and planned on climbing, but ended up sitting on the ground behind a mound of dirt. I had sprayed my boots down with Tinks Trophy Buck, or dominant buck pee. I had a small spike come out of the woods on an adjacent property and basically walk up the trail to where I was sitting. Until he crossed my trail. He turned and followed it back the way I came in. 

I try to keep as much of my body covered as possible. And I want an ozonics thing.

Ii have two friends that had me pick up Ozonics units [ both bow hunters ] for them and both swear they work like a charm.
