Grant,

I know you are big on scent control, and I was curious what your thoughts are on this research/testing . . .

Zach,

That’s interesting research.  I wish it had been designed a bit more scientifically with better controls, etc.  There’s no doubt a trained dog is an incredible tool!  

I agree that simply using a field spray has limited ability to control all odors.  I prefer to use a complete system of personal hygiene, cleaning my gear, and then field spray.  This includes only using towels that the scent has been removed, etc.

If you watch our hunts at http://www.GrowingDeer.tv I’m confident you’ll agree our system is worth the effort.  

Enjoy creation,
