I tend to agree. I have often wondered if I used the scent away stuff in my washer after so many loads have already gone through it with scented detergent, would all of the scented stuff be gone from the machine to not continue to contaminate my clothing anyway.
My problem is that by the time I get to my spot I have picked out, I have already treked down a mountainside and figure I smell like a pig farm. And if I had some wipes, then I have to carry a plastic bag to seal them in. Or I could just forget about hoping to come across anything downwind because they picked up my scent already.
So, I'm hoping to give myself an edge. Anyway I can. It's going to be interesting this year anyway because I have never hunted this particular area before. I have scouted it several times and definately found deer sign and hog but haven't actually "seen" any deer or hogs. I haven't been able to identify any specific game trails except for small animals either after walking over about 20 acres of mountain side.
I even use Satellite photo's of the area to help even though the last pass taken was almost a year ago. And for all I know, on opening day, there will be 47 other hunters there with me. Which makes me think I need to get there the day before and setup someplace that when all of the amateurs start falling through the brush in the morning, they might drive something my way. Then again, I am probably way over thinking this too.
Until I get out there and see what happens I just won't know.
