The last 2 years I hunted an early season spot near an apple tree. The first day I went out I cut an apple in half, smeared it all over me, and then set it in the tree with me. After my hunt, I would take apples home with me and blend them up. Then I put the juice in a ziploc bag and take some string....I hung this from the vine, and poked a few small holes in the bottom with the tip of my knife, this worked well for me, 3 deer in 2 years from the spot.

Shots that are True....Pass right Through!!!

Black walnuts. They're everywhere where I hunt. I rub them all oer my clothes when I get in the woods. Sometimes stomp on them and rub the insides on myself too. They have a very distinct, pungent smell.

I also scoop up handfuls of leaves and rub them on myself as well.

When I was a kid, I soaked dry leaves and moss in a mason jar of vodka for many weeks. That turned out to make a decent cover scent, but it was a terrible waste of liquor. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

well one day i couldnt find my spray so i decided i would just do it a different way. When i got my stuff ready to go i took my hat and gloves and rubbed them in the dirt, then i got down and rolled around in the dirt for a few seconds, i guess it worked, i had 4 does come within 10 yds of me and didnt smell me, didnt take a shot though

Shoot straight and shoot often.
