[QUOTE="7stw, post: 3184968, member: 18402"] I am a smoker also. Hunt predators more than anything. Wind direction is paramount to me. Also stand selection and scouting. I have had mature bucks inside of 20 yards elk inside of five yards. I shoot almost as many coyotes inside of 50 with a shotgun as I do outside of 200 with a rifle. If the wind isn’t in my favor for a particular spot I change my plan. I have been busted by game but generally when a gust swirling in the wrong direction. When I’m targeting a specific deer or problem yote I have them patterned well and narrow their routine and travel pattern down to a finite area. Hunt the wind right use a good approach and if ma nature throws a curve I back out and leave. I know some fanatical scent freaks. They make some valid points. One very successful big game guy I know well has a good point. “How can I expect scent control soaps to wash a few months of smell off me in one bath then use a towel my wife washed in flower detergent and dried with bounty” I start in August and use unscented deodorant towels and the like for September elk season. He hikes in wearing shorts and a T-shirt he buries until after his hunt. He’s successful but willing and able to use extreme diligence in his scent control. I believe that scent control clothing is a gimmick personally. I think we can minimize our scent but but cannot Eliminate it entirely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
