Three simple rules for deer hunting

Bow season for deer opened two weeks ago with another four weeks remaining and someone asked me this week what he's doing wrong because while he's seeing deer, they skirt around his stand, out of range and too far for a shot. The answer is simple — they're smelling him.Microcirculation analyzer 

Deer hunting, bowhunting especially — because of the close range necessary for a clean shot — is all about getting past the deer's senses of smell, sight and hearing. There are three simple rules — don't stink, don't move and don't make noise. Number one is their keen sense of smell because they'll often wind you without even seeing or hearing you and simply walk away silently without you ever knowing they were there. 

So to put the odds in your favor, be as scent-free as possible and you'll increase your chances for success.tapered roller bearing First off, get some scent-blocking clothing which utilizes a carbon filter in the lining which traps human scent, preventing "most" of it from passing through the garment. I don't care what brand you buy — just pick one with features that you like. I have two sets — one for warm weather and one for colder weather. Get the jacket ,fag bearing pants and cap. Seeing as you lose a lot of body heat and scent through your head, and your hair also holds a lot of scent, make sure you get the cap. 

Scent-blocking clothing needs to be maintained according to manufacturer's directions. Clean and reactivate the carbon filter by putting the clothes in the dryer on high heat for a half hour, usually for every thirty hours of wear. But wash it very sparingly and use the special carbon detergent. Washing it too often will diminish the performance of the carbon filter. 

I've had some great success with this stuff and since I've gotten it, have had deer less than 20 yards from me on the ground and have shot them as close as seven yards from my tree stand. I've also let dozens of deer pass that walk right under my stand, after approaching downwind of me. 

While the lining contains most of your human scent,ntn bearing preventing it from escaping, the outer fabric also has to remain scent-free. I've seen hunters in expensive scent-free outfits sitting in diners and gassing up their trucks and when they get in their stands, their clothes may keep their human scent from leaking out but the outer material smells like bacon and eggs and gasoline which is sure to get you busted. 

To keep your hunting clothes clean and free of scents that will alert and spook deer, keep them in a covered plastic box in your truck — and use an old plastic box so there's no plastic smell to it. Don't even sit in your truck with your hunting clothes on unless you want to smell like a dog or French fries. Change when you get to the hunting area and when you're done hunting, put your clothes back in the box before driving home. You can also put stuff in the box that's indigenous to the area you're hunting, like pine branches, leaves, etc. to keep your clothes smelling natural. Every now and then, I spray mine down with a scent eliminator spray and air them out,Lamp shade rather than wash them.
