BTW I must have fluked this deer, as I had on bright orange clothes, not to mention my equally high-viz ginger hair, plus I hadn't had a shower for a few days... and my mate smokes like train.

But seriously, I think you guys are over thinking it far to much. Just get out there and follow the basic advice already offered and you'll get deer...it's not that difficult.

Nothing against them at all ...... I'm married to one, three of my uncles are Blue,Bricky and Red..........I know how quickly they can arc up, and are normally stubborn to a point when it comes to discuss something

Can you answer Slowelliots genuine question as to what you are using for scent control. We are all interested to know.

Its funny you say that about the dog, as I've found that my tracking ability increased after I got a dog. She taught me heaps, and still is.
Nice head by the way @kimjon, (the stag)

The experiments I've read that studied scent control used sniffer dogs, rather than deer, but the information is still valuable. Basically, the dog still found the scent-disguised human, it just took them a little longer. In the case of deer, I can't see that making much of a difference, as a deer isn't trying to find you, it's trying to escape at the slightest hint of danger. Also, the scent-disguised humans used for experimentation hadn't been climbing hills and pumping out sweat, nor were they holding the bundle of unfamiliar smells that is a rifle.

+1 there. Wouldn't have found a few of my animals without the dog

As stated in another comment was really to do with pig hunting more so then a dog for deer hunting as I have an associate who is a rifle hunter and has a deer dog (last 2 months) which is a great success ..

Is that the experiment with a guy hiding in 1 of 9 barrels and the dog was unsure at 5m so had to go back for a second sniff?? That's the one I have read ..cheers for your comment

It might not be the exact same one, but pretty much. It seems to be a common format for testing/training dog noses.

I can't wait until we start getting told the merits of a 2" broad head over that of a 270 sp
