Home | Recreation & Sports | Hunting You have two choices when it comes to hiding your smell if the days hunt is to have any chance of success. You can buy masking scents which mimic one of natures outdoor odours such as the forest or small game. According to experts, what is the only thing a deer cannot smell? Got it yet? Well the answer is NOTHING. If you are using a masking scent, the deer can still smell you. It might not know who you are yet but it certainly knows you are there. The best method then of avoiding detection from your odor is to not have an odor. Use unscented shampoo and soap and don't use scented deoderants or aftershaves etc the days leading up to the game hunting trip. Wash your hunting clothes in unscented detergent well before the hunt and hang out in the fresh air the day or night before, weather permitting. Also remember to clean your weapons and equipment so they do not harbor any unnatural odors. Anything you need to carry on the hunt such as food etc. keep in an air tight sealed bag. The opposite to using scents to blend into your surroundings is to use scents to lure your prey. A lure will hopefully pull at the animals curiosity and tempt it close enough for you to take the shot. Lures available include mimicking the scent of a doe in heat and of the deers food source. While many of the game hunting fraternity concede scents, if used properly, have their uses, it should be noted that an adult buck can detect one part of human odor within ten thousand parts of masking scent. Not suprising then that you rarely get a shot when you are smelling nice! Remember that you will need to stay vigilant if you are using scented lures while game hunting - If the prey gets too close the game will be up and cost you that perfect shot.
