    The Great Scent Control Debate

    Re: RE: Re: The Great Scent Control Debate I follow very closely the program John Eberhart lays out. I do tend to take some extra precautions for my hair since I have long hair and hair is known to retain odors, especially oil based/carried odors. So my rule is that if I have not been...

    The Great Scent Control Debate

    I definitely get where you are coming from. It is a lot of hassle, and I never used any of it until 3 years ago and I have always been able to take deer almost at will. I have now been winded this season because I just did not have time (or discipline..) to get it all together one recent...

    The Great Scent Control Debate

    True on the yard deer in suburbia. I happen to hunt an urban zone, and I don't have to be nearly as careful there. In fact, when I was getting "lightly" winded last year I was not raising the alarm at all in the urban zone. I also suspect you are correct that some have more or stronger smell...

    The Great Scent Control Debate

    Interesting for sure! I have no idea how that all plays into the fact that after over 30 years of watching deer snort, stomp, and run like the ****ens at a whiff of me, they now calmly walk by and play and rub and scrape and feed downwind, completely unalarmed. It no small wonder for me also...

    The Great Scent Control Debate

    The most I walk to a stand is about 1/2 mile. Not as far, but far enough to work up a sweat. I walk out with almost all of my warm clothes in or strapped to my pack, wearing sometimes only a T and pair of longjohns to get there. Then after I cool down I put the T in a ziplock, and I don't wipe...

    The Great Scent Control Debate

    I guess I just have to accept it then, I'm spoiled... I mean, I can learn to live with it as long as you aren't mad? I'm actually kind of a bumbling hunter, but with so many deer they just keep running into my arrows! Lol. Seriously though, THE deer I was hunting strolled past at ten yards and...

    The Great Scent Control Debate

    Curious - since you are reporting far fewer deer sightings, what region are you hunting? And is the herd healthy? Surprisingly, even with our high numbers, the mixed agricultural landscape seems to keep them all fat and sassy. But you have me imagining only seeing 20 deer a year, and wondering...

    The Great Scent Control Debate

    That's multiple states, but IN has had no limit other than a county limit for a lot of years now, oh and only one buck outside urban zones. Limit in my county has varied from 4 to 8 per year. Oh, and I'm right at a 3 county corner so I have properties in each county, plus I hunt an urban zone...

    The Great Scent Control Debate

    No problem! I was stunned the first time a 140 class 8 point appeared over my shoulder at 10 yards, having approached from directly downwind. That had never happened before, and then he stood there with a nice gentle morning breeze blowing from me to him, for a good minute. And that is just one...

    The Great Scent Control Debate

    I am not looking for argument. But you did ask questions, and as a matter of respect for your position, I will answer them. And I'm not one to brag, but you said " I have darted more deer than most people will kill in their lifetime,..." Perhaps that is true, and therefore, perhaps I should...

    The Great Scent Control Debate

    To anyone who would say scent control doesn't work - Ive been hunting deer for almost 40 years, and only in the past three have I started incrementally becoming more scent free. This year, I did it all, scent-lok suit, all clothes that are only used for hunting, and a bunch of other stuff, and I...

    WTB API skyhook BOLTS

    I would buy the bearclaws if I somehow lost my API folders, and I would pay for the special bolts even at $1 each. That is still only $12 per setup. The 5 screw in steps at the top typically cost more than that (although I have bought those on sale for $1 each by the case...) I have tried other...

    WTB API skyhook BOLTS

    I use 12 bolts on almost every tree, so I guess it depends on how many trees you will have set up. I think right now I have about 45 trees, give or take a few, and that is a rough average year to year. A tree will swallow one in 3 to 5 years, so I move them a couple inches sideways every few...

    WTB API skyhook BOLTS

    I have been using them exclusively since the mid 1990's. My first set was non folding, and they took more space but I used them for about a decade. About a decade ago I switched to folders and can keep 13 in a nice little pouch that weighs a couple pounds. Always keep an extra for rare 13 step...

    Just listed a medium on ebay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/191603958961?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT I am simplifying my setups to just the couple I use, and this was an extra that I used for a loaner when friends would hunt with me and use my trees. No tether strap. I plugged saddlehunter in the listing...
