Default Home made Cover Scent !!

Thought I'd share this with ya'll,It works wonderfull and is all natural!

I 'm shure most of you have some sort of ceader trees around your area,if not some sort of pine.
Take the tips of the pine or ceader (needles or leaves)around 4 cups full.boil them in water for around 20 min or so,or untill the water turns a redish brown.Turn off and let cool,then take a old rinsed out coffee can and put a filter over the open top,use a rubber band to hold in place( make shure you leave a little dip in the center of thefilter)then strain your brew through!
then put your "tea" in a pump spray bottle(you can get these from Walmart
or KMart for $1 or so!

This works so good!
Most bucks rub on these type of trees and don't find it offencive
and actualy find it to be obtrusive!!
See they think another buck has been rubbing onTHEIR trees when they smell this!
It's worked very good for me, even with does!
I once had a doe wind me, and sprayed my ceader tea justin the air
in her direction,she quit blowing and came on in !

Try it, it don't cost anything but a empty bottle!

Sounds feasible and very inexpensive but does it actually work? I look forward to hearing of your experiences with it come this archery season.

Like I said
"It's worked very good for me even with does!

I've also used my ceader teafor the last 2 years,and last year I took the biggest buck I've taken yet along with Tinks Smokin Scents!

I try not to use anthing that is not found in the woods I hunt in.
Cherry trees nor apple are not common around here.
White oak acorns,Corn fields are common,even cow patties!
(stomp all through them when they are common in your hunting area!
deer don't worrie about cows)

you can do the same with dog fennel if you have it around....i did it for years but recently started huntin' with the theory of being totally sent free...or at least as scent free as possible.

Yeah, but Vic's vapo rub seems to work better. I don't know why, maybe it's the vapor action.

I focused on ceader,bucks love to rub on ceader!
It's an old Indian hunting secret,The making it into a "tea"
was mine.You can spray it when a deer is comming in down wind
and it will over power your scent for the most part.
I've done this with does and it worked!!
Also if you take some ceader and rub it onto you clothes
while stalk hunting it will cover your scent,and the heavy smell
of fresh rubbed ceader will tell a buck that maybe their is another buck close by rubbing HIS rubbed trees.
