Using Scents in Whitetail Deer Hunting

Hunting whitetails involves alot of planning and scent control is one of the most important.  There are many types of scent control available.  Two common types is scent eliminator and cover scents.  Using these products will greatly increase the odds of harvesting an awesome buck.

Human scent eliminators are very popular and they work.  Scent eliminators include laundry detergents, hair and body shampoos, deodorant, spray on and even some clothing that incorporate scent control into the fabric.  The best way to control human scent is to use all of these products.  Wash the hunting clothes the night before in a scent eliminating laundry detergent and hang them alone so that no other scents come in contact with them.  The morning of hunt, take a shower.  Use scent eliminating shampoo, soap and deodorant.  Lady hunters should keep in mind that it is a hunting trip and not a beauty contest so little or no makeup is a must unless it is certified scent free.  Hairspray tends to elicit alarm snorts from deer in all directions in a short period of time so do not use it.  Get into the hunting clothes carefully to keep from getting other scents from the house on them.  Once at the hunting property, get out of the vehicle and spray from head to toe with a good scent eliminating spray.  Be sure to spray the boots well so the path to the hunting area will not be laced with human scent. 

Cover scents may include buck, raccoon or fox urine, pine scented scent covers and others.  Buck urine may even lure in a curious buck earlier in the season.  Placing scents along a trail may get deer to stop walking briefly to investigate giving a bow hunter plenty of time to shoot.  There are also the rut scents which should be used during the rut.  Doe in rut urine is a very common scent and may attract big bucks if used correctly.  However, if misused it may drive bucks away.  Natural scents like pine scent help to overpower human scent if scent eliminator is also used.  It is very good to use cover scents after implementing all of the scent eliminator products in a hunt.  The less human scent the better.

Using scent covers are very effective in deer hunting.  Deer rely heavily on the sense of smell to detect danger.  Although always wary, bucks are more relaxed if there is no sign of human intrusion.  Scent eliminators and cover scents help to achieve this goal.
