Clothing is for comfort, scent control is for us, playing the wind is for hunting 👊 - being confident in your gear is what pushes you through those high pressure moments.

Great conversation. My experience shows a deer can use their nose as a rangefinder. So I think it is important to minimize your scent signature in order to make the deer think you are farther away and less a threat, especially bow hunting when you need to get close. My bird dog also taught me he could use the scent cone to find the bird and get within feet before going on point.

@magnum15917 8 дней назад

I totally agree in minimizes your sent signature tricking the deer that it’s been a while since you walked by giving him more confidence to come in/keep him in the area

@tbur42 16 дней назад

This affirms what I’ve personally experienced while hunting. I’ll keep hunting down wind or off wind. Take extra time to consider where the deer are coming from(scout) and do your best to not walk where you expect them to walk. Only exception I’ve seen in the woods is a rut crazed buck not caring as much about my scent. Learned to not waste time at a spot if I’m not confident about where my scent is going.

@buck16 15 дней назад

Very interesting and educational. Many years ago, I decided to prove to myself that scent control would not work. I wanted it to be an accurate test, so I went all in and what I did and still do is extremely time consuming and expensive. I was and continue to be shocked by my experience. I repeatedly have mature bucks and does come in downwind of me calm as can be. I also have them come in on the same path I use calm as can be. I believe that I am practicing a100% scent control system that is resulting in tolerable scent. Deer smell humans all the time where I hunt whitetails in 5 different states. I think they can accept a certain amount of tolerable scent as being safe and normal. I did try an ozone unit and it spooked every deer that got within 25 yards of the unit as they would lock up and stare directly at the unit and then run away. I don't know if they were bothered by the fan noise or hum or by the ozone smell. I don't believe any system will be 100% scent free but my experience has proven to me it can be 100% tolerable.

Question: Does rain help wash away scent? Either human scent brushing against vegetation or human scent while you are in the treestand or scent from broken/cut branches?

@Kingfisherbackcountrycharters 14 дней назад

Agree 100% about the wind. But I am all about smoking myself and my clothes out right before I go into the stand. I have had deer walk behind the stand down wind and still killed them. Maybe they caught a little bit of my scent? But it felt like the aroma of the smoke may have been more overwhelming.

@thesouthernoutdoorsmen 14 дней назад

We’ve had a guest on the show a few years ago named Travis Murray who is a big believer of smoking his clothes before each hunt. Like Tom said in the episode if it gives you confidence then keep doing it.

@MColtOutdoors 2 дня назад

I use my own philosophy ..... if the wind is blowing from my body to the deer's nose, I'm busted. I use bug spray and wear blue jeans, pump gas, and hunt straight after work. Good luck to everyone this upcoming season!

I have a question how to hunt my property. I have been hunting an 18,000 acre private property called ames plantation and I have hunted it for two years and have not been seeing the amount of deer I wanted. The whole place is all mainly flatland and the deer dont seem to want really go out to ag fields, could you give me any tips on how to find a bigger density of deer there? Thank you

@nicmarkham5040 День назад

@tacticalwhitetailmappingso5118 15 дней назад

Anyone remember Paul Putara telling u about sunlight analysis on CalTopo… bucks bed in the blue zones bc of thermals also bc it’s cooler and they can smell better bc scent wants to pool there… so other ideas is to be downwind of where scent pools and be down wind of where his nose can be the strongest… IE compounding features has multiple air currents food or brush to smell and eat and other scents…

@magnum15917 8 дней назад

So one of my takeaways from this video is a lot of your sent comes from your breath. My question related to that is it seems like wearing a mask would reduce some of that sent (and of course, the better the mask the less sent)

@adamdabdoub 15 дней назад

smoking a left handed cigarette too and from your spot in addition to wearing cover scents on your boot will help you out. That being said, a deer will remember the smell of you if you happen to make contact with him and not kill them or if they are grouped up.

@n22186 16 дней назад

Something that is said here that contradicts itself. Your scent will be left behind for deer to smell, just blowing down wind. But let's not worry about our scent downwind as long as we're hunting downwind of a deer. I will say, be just as concerned about your downward scent because deer don't just walk where you want them to. Hence I will continue to do everything I do...scent control spray, scent control clothing, and scent control ozone. Never walk in the woods without gloves on (oils on your hands), and if you're scouting close to hunting season, try hunting before or during a rain.

As informative as this is, and it is informative. It seems to just create more questions and concerns that we as smelly humans cant do anything about. Perhaps a better practice is not to worry so much and just use the wind and whatever scent eliminator you trust and, go hunt. Deer are odd animals that do things that cant be explained all the time.

That won’t help all the scent you are putting out though breathing through your nose. Most people think it’s your breathe through your mouth but Tom explains it’s the scent coming out when you breathe through your nose that’s the issue.

Do a good job scouting and learn the deer travel paths. If you don't have the wind in your favor pick a different stand to hunt that day. Easier said than done but it's that simple. Everything else is BS and a gimick to sell products.
