"I do similar to what grampy does, paying primary attention to the wind, plus scent free soap, etc..    One trick with the wind, is to use an enclosed vehicle to get downwind of where the deer are prior to my walk in, rather than walking around or using an open atv.. \n \n\n\n\t  \n\tAlso,  especially on mature buck’s and does, I have had very good success with one particular cover scent - Evercalm deer herd scent.  The only problem with that is the waxy yellow marks it leaves around your spots.  I have always wiped some on the heels of my boots,  prior to walking in, then wiped some on branches or on the walls of my blinds.   \n\t \n \n\n\n\tTo eliminate that ugly yellow streaking, this year I am going to keep using it on my boots, but just pop the top off the dispenser, and lay it down on top of or near my blinds when I get there.  That will eliminate the steaks and stretch the supply a little farther.   \n\t \n \n\n\n\tLast season was probably the best example that I have seen of the power of that stuff.  A 3.5 year old 9-point approached my stand, 5 minutes after sunset (good thing they changed the rules on that last year).   When he crossed the trail that I took on my walk in (with my boot heels wiped Evercalm), he stopped broadside at 4O yards, plenty long enough for me to put a slug thru his rib cage.  \n\t \n \n\n\n\tit was snowing that day, and it took me a while to clear the snow from my scope, so that I could see him thru it.  Without that Evercalm, I probably would  not have had a decent shot at him.  The only year in the last (5), that I didn’t take a 3.5 year old buck, was the year I skipped the Evercalm.  The only way that’s going to happen again is if they stop making it.\n \n\n\n\t I tossed half of a stick in the freezer, at the the end of last season, so I should be good thru early ML season anyhow.  It don’t keep from year to year if you don’t freeze it.   \n \n"
