| I was told from a native mexican he had great success masking his scent by packing his clothing in a basket of apples, claims he had great success; personally, I believe a lot of the chemicals on sale for scent masking work poorly and only line the pockets of marketers zeN |

Having hunted and photographed animals in the west for years, I haven't found that elk, mule and blacktail deer are all that sensitive to the smell of campfire smoke. I have found that being to exposed to such smoke when food is being cooked over it has a tremendous effect on animals...they leave in a hurry!!!
All things being equal, it is always best to be scent free, however, my experience has been that using the wind to your advantage is far more important than anything else.
For every rule there is an exception. Where I live in the Eel River Valley of "Superior" California, scent is not an issue as the deer here live on and in the farms and cities and are quite use to the smell of humans. |
