Grind corn to a powder and store in Ziplocks. Dust up with the corn just before I hit the woods. I hunt on the ground and it has worked well for me
Tell me you don't have bear without telling me you don't have bear.
Might work for hunting hogs!

Last year my teenage son still had cologne on from the night before. A deer blows at us from 100 yards or so through the woods. He says "I wonder who its blowing at?" I said you man, you might as well be wearing a neon sign that says run deer.
She would have smelled you both at the same time either way. The cologne would be like flipping on your high beams vs low when going down the highway, but they can see the glare off your cellphone before you’ve even come around the curve.

You must hunt in Lincoln Parish.

There is something to be said for deer getting used to human scent. I grew up hunting in what is essentially rural suburbs and those deer smelled people all the time. They wouldn’t necessarily bolt if they winded you, but their head would be on a swivel and would pick out the slightest movement as they continued doing whatever they were doing. Contrast that with a property in Natchez I hunt, the caretaker is the only person to step on 2300 acres outside of the season. You can ride down the side of a field in a sxs and they will barely lift their heads to look at you go by. At a feeder or in a plot they’re relaxed as they can be. If they catch even the slightest bit of human smell, it’s like they got hit with a cattle prod and blow for 10 miles.

My camp is my grandparent's old house. When they were alive they were always walking around, slamming the screen doors, making noise. The deer would not care. Usually see more deer walking back to their house than on the stand. Now, we are only there on the weekends and we never see the deer around the camp when we are there.
Meanwhile, my mom has 9 deer that demand a serving of corn every day. They will stand at her back fence until she goes out with a small bucket and makes little piles for them. They will only run a short way away from her dog.
And no, she won't let you hunt them. I have tried.

Was taking care of my dad awhile and decided to go sit in a ground blind my brother had thrown behind their house, maybe 5-6 wooded acres surrounded by houses and yards. At 425 the neighbors Doberman comes barreling into the woods and runs all the squirrels eating the corn up the tree. Texted him a pic of the dog front feet on a tree barking and he just replied “they’ll be there at 430”. The dog stomps off and at 431 here come 7 does. After 15 mins the dog comes running back barking at them, out the right side of the blind I can see them half heartedly flag and trot about 40 yards, stop, and turn back to look. Soon as the dog left, they went right back to the corn and ate til dark.

Totally agree, but I'm not talking cover scent. More attractant/Curiosity...
