Deer have excellent hearing, they can hear you coming from a quarter of a mile away.
Now, what is really keen is their sense of smell, so it makes good sense to de-scent yourself and your equipment as much as possible.
Deer lick their noses constantly to keep it moist, improving their sense of smell.
One whiff of you and those deer are gone.
Some of the preparing for your deer hunt can be done way ahead of time.
One thing you can do is wash all of the clothes that you will be wearing in scent eliminating detergent.
However, before you remove your clothes from the washer be sure to wash your hands in a scent eliminator soap.
Also, run a dry sheet (scent eliminating) for a few minutes alone in the dryer, remove it, add a new sheet, then place your clothes in the dryer.
When your clothes are dry seal them in a scent free storage bag.
Is all this necessary? Well, I do anything I can that can help improve my chances of getting my game.
On the day of your hunt it is necessary to remove all the odor from yourself as much as possible.
You can shower using the odor eliminating soap and shampoo, as well as using odor eliminating antiperspirant.
Spray inside your vehicle, the seat, steering wheel and anything you touch with special odor removal sprays or earth cover scents.
Spray your boots, wipe down your rifle and everything you will be bringing.
From here on out, take it very easy, don't smoke, and don't work up a sweat.
Your ground blind should be set up well in advance.
When you approach your stand or blind be as quietly as possible, avoid stepping on twigs that snap, walk slowly.
When you are in your stand be very quiet, and while you are waiting one thing you can do is wipe down your equipment more using Primos scent eliminator field wipes, which, by the way can also be used as dryer sheets.
Usually you can be expected to sit very quietly for a long time before you see a deer.
Silence is utmost important, with the exception of deer calls, which are very effective if you know how to use them.
Some of them take a lot of practice but there are many deer calls on the market today.
If you can eliminate scent and noise you have a much better chance of getting your game.
