Deer Scents

Ask any police officer who uses drug dogs. People often try to mask the scent of something with another more powerful scent. The problem is that the dogs can disseminate both scents. Deer are no different. Therefore, I do not buy the "cover scent" premise. As far as attractants go, I'm not sure how effective they are, but I'm sure your human odor will be mixed in with it. I'm interested to hear if anything works.

I dont use cover scents. I do use the scent away laundry detergent just so i dont have sweet laundry scent lol. Also use the scent away deoderant so i dont have old spice blazing. But no cover scent

I have used evercalm and still use it occasionally. I have watched younger spikes yearling does following it right up to my tree.
I have also had same age class come to the base of my tree smelling tobacco juice spit.
I have zero evedience it works on mature deer.

You ever made out with a chick that smokes and then uses body spray to cover the cigarette smell?

Same shite x1000

YOu can help your cause SOME by not smoking, and being vigilant about certain things but between my thermacell, the gas I walked in at the gas station, the 4 wheeler exhaust, the coffee im drinking, the axe body spray all over my clothes cause I let my son drive my truck last night, If the wind is not right, the deer know.

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.

I keep my clothes sealed in 5 gallon buckets with split Fat Pine. 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

Go to YouTube and watch the Mark Rober video on dog tracking. You’ll realize real quick any attempt at masking your scent is futile.
There is only the wind that matters when hunting. Deer or any other animal out there will smell you regardless of what you try to do to hide your scent.
