I have had a doe walk right up to me with that scent on and stomp her foot on the ground trying to get me to move. It was pretty funny. The other favorite neutralizes odor and smells like nothing. I don't trust it as much as it has no odor so I'm not really sure it's doing anything.
I do well to climb a step ladder. This is the only stand I'll be climbing into this year. My husband is 6' 3". He's standing under it so I'm guessing the bottom is 7'. I feel secure in there once I get settled in.


I have dirt scent. My vast amount of hunting experience (all last year of it) has proven that without dirt scent I don't see deer. Then again, I didn't see any with it.

I just talked to on of Wayne's Foggy Mt. guides working out of Pittston Farm. The normal forage is almost non existent and the bears are coming in after the bait almost as soon as it arrives, (picture bear leaning on stump, impatiently tapping his foot because dinner is late!)

Nearly a 100% success rate up there, so far.

A friend had 13 bear hunters at his cabins last week. They went home with 12 bears.
