One of the guys I used to hunt with, who happened to also be "the one" who always seemed to shoot big bucks, smoked like a chimney while sitting in his (open) treestand.Scent killer sprays. They are a tool.and they do help to a degree,but a wise old whitetail just needs one molecule to end up in the next county. I read that a black bear has a way more acute sense of smell than a deer. Play the wind or play alone!
The ground around his stand was always littered with cig butts, yet he always seemed to shoot something and they were usually big.
Yeah, play the wind or stay home.
