the eyes are very sharp, but i've had a bunch of Off Bug Spray on before, and had 2 hens 5 foot away not even notice...or at least not be scared or alarmed. i think if they were just about on top of you they mite be able to smell it, but i dunno.

actually, i just got to thinkin. last weekend, my uncle and me had forgotten toilet paper, so he used his socks. he then put his dirty socks inside the decoy so he wouldn't have to carry them. well we had a hen come rite up and nose the decoy, so it either doesnt bother em, or they cant smell it.

I agree that a bird's nose is the least of your worries, however it's still a good idea to practice some scent control.......what happens if you're working a gobbler and he hangs up within sight but out of shooting range, and a deer wanders in, smells you, and bolts........do you think that bird will hang around?

My 2 pennies anyways.

fom what i can tell its sorry! if it was as good as a deer's they would be alot harder to kill! and i'd be in a scent-lok suit.

I think it's eyes is what you have to worry about.They do have great eye sight.I don't think his nose is all that great.I went hunting and tried to call one in.Had him talking but he would'nt come in range.After about 20 mins. of nothing,stood up and one was 10 yards behind me.startled me but he never made a sound.Did'nt get a shot off but I'll bag his a** on sat.
