Re: Feeding winter wildlife

Just check , it was January 27 / 2011 . I stopped feeding because cracked corn is hard on their digestive system and they were wandering near the Highway.

Human Scent

There are many products that mask human scent . If I leave my scent ,( sweat from my hand ) on my ladder stand rung ; how long will it last ? Will the rain or snow dissolve the scent ? Just curious about being scent free. Ray
