i think as we are brought up in this modern world of deoderants,colognes,aerosals dish an laundry detergents, shampoo's and conditioners, and air fresheners, our skin , hair,clothing and homes are so saturated with these scents we have become desensitized to these smells. when we step into the woods , these smells permiate everywhere. its definately forin to any wildlife. now i have been a carpenter for yrs spent alot of time outdoors. come home from work and can smell the outdoors on me definately a different scent. have you ever hung your clothes outside to dry from the laundry, brought them inside to fold, they smell different dont they. these are just observations i have made . maybe you might want to try something different , spend a majority of your day outdoors before you go into the woods, you will see a difference. what it all boils down to is , if a deer is gonna smell ya , they're gonna smell ya. ruddy
