1) Not convinced animals spoke to chem odors- doesn't smell like a human unless they somehow learned it. Even aftershave/cologne does not really spook game. 2) I love Kevin Dill's idea as well- HOWEVER, I could not find the bottle liners last fall!  I asked some young moms and they tell me that is old tech.  They don't use such things anymore.  ???

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

KSdan...The big auction site has 300+ listings for baby bottle liners...

I seem to recall reading where you could shoot (the arrow) with the liner still on the fletch. Poke the nock thru the liner, and be sure the rubber band is off the open end. At release, the liner 'catches' air and the arrow simply flies out of it with no effect on flight. I never tried it, but think it sounds plausible.
