I have been hunting since the age of seven and for the first time in 28, years, I have purchased some scent-free deodorant,washing detergent, and bath soap. I have always stored my hunting clothes in a trash bag with pine limbs and dirt from the hunting lease. However, I have been reluctant to use a cover scent or estrus formulation thus far. If a scent smelled like it came from a deer in Maine and you were hunting in South Texas, would'nt that serve as a warning to a deer rather than an enticement? I may go with some sort of earth-based cover scent. However, I believe any estrus type scent I use will come from the tarsal gland of a doe killed on or around our lease. Please give me any feedback you may have pertaining to scent usage.
