Conquest Scents

I received a great prize package this weekend from Conquest Scents .  They have a show on the sportsman's channel, Conquest 200, it airs Sunday's at 5 PM. It's a great show with great people who raise world-class whitetail deer.

The prize pack included a shirt, hat, two versions of their Ever Calm scent, a dispenser and extra wicks.  I cannot wait to try these products in archery season.

Cover Scent

I will be using a White Acorn Cover Scent from 3 D hunting supply company this season.  I know my friends have used it with great results for whitetail deer.

I used it this past spring turkey season to control the bugs and was not eaten alive in the ground blind.  It's a great product, give it a try.

Wash Everything

Ok the season is about to start, your crossbow is sighted in, new bolts and broadheads are ready in your quiver and your backpack is ready to be packed right?

Wrong, anything that can be washed including your backpack must be washed in scent free, brightener free detergent and Air Dried.  Never use your dryer or fabric sheets. 

Once all your clothing is completely dry, put it into a scent free plastic bag and seal that bag up tight.  Now this information is not new to most bow hunters but here are a few more steps...

Get a few packages of the scent away wipes and go over all your gear (wheelchair too) as best you can.  Your goal is scent elimination, that is the key to getting close.

Store all your gear away from pets, smells ect as best as possible. 

Shower in scent free soap before the hunt and use scent free deodorant. 

Fill your gas tank the day before the hunt not on your way there.

Get dressed at your hunting parking area if possible.

Touch as little as possible on your way to your groundblind.

Always hunt the wind...

Apparition Scents

Check out the new look from Apparition Scents .  Phantom Hunter is scent elimination spray and we all know deer will believe their nose over their eyes every time....

Scent

As hunters we should all realize the importance of controlling our human odor in order to be successful.  It's been estimated that the nose of a Whitetail deer is 10,000 times as sensitive as our own. That's why I like to use a scent elimination soap like this

But as a person with a disability, I also have to be conscious of my wheelchair.  That's why I like to use scent away towels and have someone wipe down all the hard surfaces on my wheelchair, trying to eliminate all the human odor that I can.

It may seem like a lot of preparation, but to be successful,  I believe you have to go that extra mile.  It's my opinion that a whitetail deer will believe it's nose before it believes its eyes.
