+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 ..

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.

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

If you hunt sensibly into the wind, and get to understand its vagaries you are well on the way to ticking off the human scent thing.

To be a successful hunter (bow or rifle) I would rate disguising or eliminating human scent well down the must do ladder.

Far more important is understanding your quarry and getting to know the area you hunt. Twelve pages on understanding the habits of deer would add far greater value than fretting and arguing about body odour.

My journey has never been negligence of the playing the wind right ..what it has been if I am playing the wind and it changes all of a sudden I want to be able to at least disguise my scent enough to still give myself a chance ..that is all ..I will post a picture of 2 New Zealand deer habit hunting books I purchased in order to understand what I am to do when hunting deer species ..I am sure these books maybe familiar to some I am not sure [emoji848]

I read many dog eared "Man" magazines and looked at a bit of soft porn prior to my first shag. But I was still pretty damned pathetic on the night. More experience though made me a lot better at it :) Books can only take you so far. :)

Absolutely ..but a person who is green and never been taught or brought up in the bush is a silly man not to respect it as well ..these gave me guide lines on what to look out for so I had something to apply to when I did go bush and tried to implement the knowledge they were trying to pass on ..send a man out into the bush alone with no knowledge is a dangerous prospect ..cheers for the comment
