Scent thief successes and failures

[haas0311]

Anyone have some good stories of their Scent Thief use? I will be hunting this weekend and it looks like my wind will be horrible so I am going to be drenched in this stuff... So, any stories of what to do or not do is appreciated!

Pro tip: Dont forget to swish a little bit around in your mouth like mouthwash.

Don’t hunt the wrong wind. They will smell you.

I use it. Never been busted that I know of. Of course I always hunt the wind. However, I can say I’ve hunted an unfavorable crosswind and don’t believe I got busted. At least with hogs and does. I guess it works. But yes wind in your face is always the best ! Safe hunting JJ

I have killed some big deer using it.

I used it in Kansas two weeks ago for the first time. Recommended by a good friend. On 2 separate occasions I had mature does walk in up to 5 yards away, downwind and did not wind me. Both smelled and licked noses for at least 4-5 min. they seemed to smell something, but did not alarm them. They walked away and went back to feeding. did not startle them. I wish with I had it on film. would be been a great review. I was frozen since they were so close, but they definitely smelled something, just did not alarm them . Made me a believer. Just my experience.

I've seen more Public land deer with it than without. 'bout as far as I can testify to.

Actually,it really is that easy. Don’t hunt a stand with the wrong wind. Have different options/stands for different wind directions!

With this mindset, you would need 4 stands for every feeder so no matter what, the wind won't play a factor. There are also limitations on size of property and blind/stand locations.. So it is easier said than done.

To all the people that preach “hunt the wind” which I try but more times than not the wind swirls this is especially true With archery equipment. How do you deal with that? Just not hunt?

Totally agree here. hunting the wind is great and all but only under perfect conditions. Hell id never get to hunt it’s rarely perfect
