Nice job Putting these videos together Jim!
Scent control can be a lot of work, but is critical if you want to hunt more then a couple days on small property, and have an opportunity at a mature buck.
Jim has tons of wisdom that is refreshing 😊
Always like these videos
Great info!
Not trying to offend anyones IQ, but scent control is only applicable on pressured properties. On extremely low pressure properties, deers are actually curious about humen scent & it has no effect on their behavior. On these properties, the critical factor is noise as their senses are keyed on sound. On pressured properties, hunters can get away with some noise as deers have been conditioned to tolerate this environment.
are deer bothered by smoke coming from a wood stove in a box blind? Any thoughts
It depends on what "deer" you are hunting. Mature deer get to be mature because they are sensitive to their environment and are alert to anything unusual. So, any scent out of place may case a mature deer to alter their behavior and not move closer to that scent. They don't necessarily freak out, you just don't see them because they shy away from anything unusual or out of place. Meanwhile, you may see lots of immature deer with poor scent control. But you will not see as many of them, and will be unlikely to see a mature deer up close and personal.
I hunt in my backyard & I have a wood stove that blows plumes directly into a deer funnel. It's all about conditioning. If the deers are use to it, they could careless. However, I've learned that sitting in between the smoke & the funnel does not mask my scent & the deers will easily pinpoint my location.
