[QUOTE="coyotemaster, post: 2613238, member: 2479"] Thanks all for the interesting tips. I'm sure they all have some veracity. I've bow hunted for almost 30 years and have enjoyed good success with getting high in the tree and using scent free detergent. One thing I haven't seen yet, and maybe I missed it, is making sure the detergent you employ has no UV brighteners. Most all hunting detergents don't have it but be careful of that. I think older deer don't feel comfortable with the wind blowing up their behind and religiously avoid it, the biggest, oldest deer I've taken have been quartering the wind and had not quite reached my scent cone before the shot. Cover scents probably work but I steadfastly agree with the fellow who said MOVE if the wind changes===you can't be clean enough to fool a deer's nose at bow range and I've used carbon suits and any and all cover scents. I do believe your hair is the biggest emitter of scent and I wear a carbon impregnated head cover whenever I'm in the tree. [/QUOTE]
