[QUOTE="Pwbergen, post: 2234972, member: 63552"] In my opinion, as long as we are breathing we can reduce our scent, but never eliminate it. I’m not a self-proclaimed expert, but I have (successfully) trapped for 40 years and archery hunted for 37 years. Even with extreme scent control measures, there are some canines (foxes and coyotes) you simply cannot catch in a trap because you can never completely eliminate human scent. (I met a rancher in CO years ago who set his coyote traps from his ATV - never setting a foot down - to minimize odors.) In hunting, I rely on wind direction and thermals to get close to animals. Period. [/QUOTE]
