I've always believed rubber boots didn't hold scent until I stored mine in a barrel of corn just for good measure. I'd walk from the back of my house to a single camera where I'd put out the equivalent of a coffee can full or corn every 2-4 days. I never deviated from this routine. Based on deer tracks, they would follow my tracks up to my fence gait every evening. If the gate was open, I believe they would have been on my back porch. In this same vein, I've never understood why I've seen guys from GA to SD and all points in between at the gas pump in $400 Sikta or Scentlok outfits and $200 Lacross rubber boots standing in Diesel fuel at the gas pump 5am on a Saturday morning prior to hunting...but what do I know. LoL.
