Started thinging about some conversations and personal experiences I've had hunting. Let me give you some background here, I've been hunting going on my 3rd season this year. Never killed anything yet, and have only seen a few small does and fawns. But Damn, did I ever enjoy just watching them. Anyhow, I have friends that have told me that they have the same experiences, except when they go armed with a camera, they see all kinds of deer.
No gun, see deer.
Got gun, no deer.
Last weekend I was cleaning my shotgun and was enjoying the smell of the Hoppies 9 and the gun lube, etc.. When I realized, if I'm enjoying the smell, what about the wildlife?
I've been taking all the precautions before hunting, no aftershave, baking soda deodorant, unscented and no UV laundry detergent, storing my hunting clothes away from my everyday clothes, scent killer spray, not pumping gas the same day I hunt,....You get the picture.
Are they smelling the gun cleaners and lubes??
Crazy idea? Maybe. But think about it.
