Last year I wore my muck boots for the first time in years because I had to access through a creek. Anyway, after spraying them down with scent killer at the truck and then walking through a creek I cheated and walked right across a deer trail to my tree. Every deer that walked that trail came to where I crossed it and became skiddish. Had my thermals and pants tucked into the boots. Did everything I could to keep them scent free, and still couldnt fool a deer. I honestly dont think scent control works at all anymore. Now I just hunt the wind, walk the extra distance to avoid crossing trails, and wear comfortable boots. Being cautious about the wind and where I step has gotten me far more deer sightings than my over the top scent control tactics ever did. Wear what keeps you comfortable and still in the tree.
