The
whitetail deer is an awesome
animal. I have been
hunting/studying the whitetail
for many years and with all of
the hours I have put logged in
the woods, this animal still
amazes me. Their senses
(hearing, sight and smell) are
phenomenal and in order to
consistently get close to these
animals a person must play it
smart, very smart. The wind is a
huge factor and thus stand
placement becomes critical.
Trying to be as scent-free as
possible is key. I will start by
trying to eat right during the
hunting season so I don't have
nasty toxins wafting out over my
hunting area. Taco Bell fire
sauce is my favorite, but I
won't use it during deer season.
No-scent soap, Scent Killer by
Wildlife Research is a must and
clothing that has been hanging
on the line for weeks is also
very key. I will put my clothes
in a Scent-Safe travel bag by
Hunter's Specialties. I also
wear Scent Killer deodorant and
brush my teeth with Scent-A-Way
toothpaste. I forgot, before I
line dry my hunting clothes,
they are washed with Scent
Killer clothing wash! I do wear
rubber boots and make sure not
to work up a sweat on my way to
stand. I am an archery hunter
and I do whatever I can do to
try and eliminate scent and give
me better odds of getting close
to the whitetail of my dreams.
This buck was taken last fall in
central Minnesota and even
though I am a husband, father of
3, business owner, avid turkey
hunter and many other "things" I
am always studying the
whitetail. A couple of weeks ago
one studied my grill (of my
truck) a little too long. This
will happen and it is another
reason to keep hunting.
