I like to wear rubber boots whenever possible. I also like to spray those rubber boots good with some scent free spray after I put them on outside of the truck. I wash myself in scent free soap, use scent free deodorant, and wash my clothes in scent free detergant. I dry them w/ dryer sheets that smell like dirt. It's not a strong smell once they are done but just enough to counteract any perfume smell from previous Dryer sheets. I dont think I totally kill the smell of my human scent. I do believe I drastically reduce it. I have personally seen several deer come walking along until they have hit the trail that I walked to my stand on. At that point they hit the breaks and turned the other way and headed off. I was wearing regular old Rockies when this happened. I have never, and I do repeat never seen a deer become alarmed after walking across my trail after going through the process that I go through to keep my boots scent free. I tuck my pants in to help the matter even more. A deers nose is for the most part from our waste level down. Probably mostly from our thighs on down. I think by tucking in my pants and spraying my boots down it helps alot. Doe pee and things like that are one thing, but I am a firm believer in scent "reduction".
