never understood how smoke would be a good cover sent, unless your in an area that for some strange reason has fires on a regular basis. Personally if I smell a fire while hunting it alarms me, cause it's something I hardly ever smell while in the woods. I'm sure it would have worked well for settlers and indians though. Here is a quote from an article on Field & Stream's website talking about the Scent Smoker: "According to the manufacturer, the smoke saturates your clothing and other gear with phenol, a naturally occurring antibacterial and antimicrobial. It also deposits lignin (the sticky substance found in woodsmoke), which keeps odor-causing bacteria from growing. (Phenol and lignin are also what prevents smoked meat from going bad.) Activated carbon is released in the smoke as well. Since the smell of smoke is common, goes the argument, it doesn’t spook deer."

troy Try it and you'll be surprised. I've had a lot of deer come in downwind of me (a couple within 15ft) and never pay me any attention while sitting on the ground in a made up blind or up a tree in my climber. Something I learned from my grandfather that I have seen work time and time again. Where I hunt now - people burn trash, have a fire in the fireplace, and burn outside all the time. I never smell it while hunting, but see it when I drive by their houses. The distances deer travel - I don't see why they wouldn't be used to the smell.

Occasionally I'll break off a pine limb and crush the foliage to rub all over me, but most of the time I just hunt the wind. They are going to smell you if they get downwind. My answer is the same except I hunt the wind ALL the time. Well I guess that isn't completely truthful. If the wind shifts right before dark, I'll stick it out and hope he comes up behind me. I do often rub crushed pine needles on me if I'm hunting around pines though. I think it is mostly that it makes me think I'm doing something useful and it is a pleasant smell more than it is covering my scent.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

"hunting the wind" sounds good in theory, but I find that it dosen't work so well in practice(in the woods). The wind shifts all the time in the places I hunt(hilly) and deer approacj from all directions. Most of em may approach along the trail or area you think they will after scouting and studying the deer/area, but all certainly don't.
Esp in the rut where does will walk "normal" trails, approaches to food, but bucks will slide downwind of those areas getting downwind of you. During the rut there is no "hunting the wind" due to the erratic nature of rut stupid bucks...or are they stupid???

Sure a deer has smelled smoke in the woods before! But to me...it's like this, if the area you hunt is near houses with fireplaces going all the time or other things where fire and smoke is common, then yeah, I think it would be ok. What about if you hunt way back in the woods, a couple miles from a house or something, and smoke is not very common, at all? Seems to me wearing smoke on you into a place like that would be akin to spraying down with cedar scent and walking into a pine thicket, where there's not a cedar tree for a square mile. Or walking into a hardwood bottom with pine scent, where there are no pines. I see alot of scents like apple, corn, persimmon among others. Now if your hunting in a stand of persimmon trees, a corn field, or an apple orchard, or maybe perhaps you have been feeding those things! Te-he! Then they would be natural, if not it's UNNATURAL! In my honest opinion, if smoke is not commonly present, it's unnatural. But whatever works for ya'll!
