What is your favorite cover Scent.
I know cover scents work. They make skunk, coyote urine, racoon urine, hog urine, raw earth, pine or cedar, and others. Which one do you think works best? I have used Skunk, and if that doesn't cover your scent nothing will.
My favorite sense is COMONSENSE. That being, if you hunt where's there's game, play the wind and don't move, you're sure to succeed.

I don`t use any cover scents. Heck, i even where my hunting clothes after being near fires, dogs, etc. I don`t worry about what I smell like or look like. All of these products on the market make me dizzy
If an animal smells me, it`s cool, I will always have another chance and I do get my chances, even smelling like fire pit and worse sometimes

I have tried many cover scents over the years. I havn't realy been impressed by many of them. I currently use H.S. scents fresh earth wafers along with pine needles and dirt that I get from the ground and put in a bag with my camo. I have used skunk scent before and it seemed like it didn't work well. There are not many skunks in the area I hunt so I think it may bother the deer more than it helps. Because it is a defence to danger, I have wondered if deer know that too and avoid areas where the smell is strong. I would recomend you use any scent that is common to the place you will hunt like acorn scent in an oak forest.
A bad day in the woods is better than a good day anywhere else.
After taking care to be as scent free as possible from human scent I use a cover scent that I have found to work great for me and my friends. It's called BTD Whitetail Cover Scent.... http://www.btdoutdoors.com/ Works very well and you don't go home smelling like animal pee

Cover scent
Wash clothes in baking soda and fresh dirt,leaves,oaklimbs, are ground up and put in a bag that the clothes stay in; also put the same things in the bow case; don't buy anything from the stores except the scent free soap
Hunt hard, respect what you hunt and waste no meat;
The biggest buck I've seen in my bowhunting career (this happened in the early 1970's) was trailing me like a lost puppy when I had used red fox urine on my boots. I had stopped in a brushy ditch line between small fields when I saw his antlers above the brush on my back trail. He was a few feet off the trail and stopping every few feet to sniff with his nose pointed right at my trail. Came within 20 yards before I missed him.
(small tree branch saved him from getting a bear razorhead between the ribs)
Today I believe that no scent will cover your human scent, but the right scent at the right time and place may arouse the deer's curiosity enough to get them close. I've had them come in to the smell of coffe brewing and my vanilla flavored cigars.
