Top 4 Scent Tips for Deer Hunters
Tip 1 – Collect Ground Debris from Your Hunting Site.
Gather-up some leaves, dirt and other ground debris from around your stand and hunting area in a large bag or plastic container and use this to store your hunting clothes prior to your trip. This technique will help reduce your scent when in the field by allowing your hunting clothing to take on the naturally occurring scents that permeate your hunting location. Shower with scent-free soap before every hunting trip. Wash your hunting clothes in a non-scented detergent each time you’re heading to the woods.
Tip 2 – Use Odor
Eliminator, Twice.
Not only spray yourself down with odor eliminator prior to heading to your
stand, but experienced hunters will take it with them for a second dose once
they’re in their spot, with special attention to jackets, caps and hair.
Tip 3 – Estrous vs.
Buck Scents.
Doe estrous isn’t the only
way to attract big bucks. While estrous is a wonderful tool, it’s important to
take advantage of a buck’s territorial instincts. In early October, for
example, the scent of an estrous doe doesn’t make sense to a buck, but buck
scent is always worth testing.
Tip 4 – Drag Rags.
When bucks are at the peak
of the rut, try a drag rag soaked in doe estrous. This is often a great way to
lure bucks to follow the trail, right to your deer blind.

Professional anglers work diligently to locate where the fish are. That’s their primary task. Next, they try to determine what the fish might be inclined to eat at that specific time. Afterward, they attempt to entice enough fish to take their bait and catch a full limit, ideally including at least one large fish, before heading to the weigh-in station to compete for the prize money.
