Even though it may be one of your first time hunting deer this season, those deer have been working on their greatest way to stay away from you since they were tiny fawns..... their great sense of SMELL.
According to whitetail deer hunting legend, the late Gary Clancy, the fact is that you have a better chance of seeing deer when you take precautions to control your own scent.
Start by skipping the scented body wash you might normally use, and make sure you have boots that are aired out and clean. Deer will smell your human scent, so consider checking out some of the scent control products on the market, and read the directions on how to use them properly. A tip Clancy shared in
his book Strictly Whitetails, is that "cover scents are only meant to camouflage human order, it doesn't make it go away". Starting clean and heading into the woods clean are your first priority!
