Guest oubruceb Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I have a question about a persons scent. Do tears from the cold wind in your eyes have a scent? I wipe them on my sleeves and have been wondering if I am spreading my scent. Also does mucus have a smell deer can smell? My eyes water and my nose runs when it gets cold, don't always have a hanky handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popgun Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Re: scents First let me welcome you to the realtree forums. You'll like it here. As for your question; Yes I think everything has an odor to it including tears and snot. How well it could be detected by a deer is questionable. I doubt that a deer really knows what a particular smell is, but that it is just not normal for the surroundings. Back when the early settlers took baths twice a year they still had pretty good luck hunting. I think a lot of the scent control hoop-la is just to sell scent control clothing and sprays. I didn't worry too much about scent control this year but watched the wind a little more closely, and had just as good a year as any up to date. Play the wind and don't worry so much about little things. Waving that handkerchief around would probably spook the deer more than a little snot on your sleeve. ....popgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
