I was sucked into this 40 years ago. I use to use apple sent when in fact there wasn't an apple tree for miles lol. I hunt the edge of a cedar thicket now so I keep my hunting cloths stored in a tote with cedar shavings. Don't know if it helps but as long as it doesn't harm my hunt it builds my confidence. We have a 3 day velvet hunt coming up this weekend in Tennessee and after that its time to stay out of the woods until the end of Sept. By the way, love your videos Jeff.... Lots of information we can use in the south. Thank you.

I love rubbing my camo down with green cedar boughs. The oils from the cedar produce a long lasting smell. This is the last step I take right before heading to my stand. Seems to really help. I still smell cedar on my camo come next hunt. Paying attention to every detail can make you or break you.

Hi Jeff, great information as expected. I try to follow many of the points you have identified but one thing I have done for many years, and I believe has contributed to my success. I wash my clothes regularly in a scent free product but prior to the season I gather up a bunch of leaves from my property, dampen them periodically, store them in a perforated plastic bag and place them in a large plastic tote that I use for storing wood along with all my hunting gear and boots. I remove my clothes from the tote when I dress to go hunting and return my clothes back to the tote when Im done hunting and they remain there until the next hunt. Cant be sure it helps but I continue to do it. Thanks again for all your information.

Most of your advice is geared to private property, But not all of us are fortunate to have private land or access to private land. I would like for you to share more information about hunting big public land, where access is limited or you have to bush wack to get into a spot. I understand the whole playing the wind card but sometimes its hard. I have seen myself set up for deer coming from one direction just to have them come in from another. And it is almost impossible to create another trail in without making so much noise and leaving scent. Any extra tips would be welcomed. Keep up the good work, look forward to more vids

I couldn't agree with you more, but I am dead sold on Dead Down Wind. Wash my cloths in it, shower with it, spray my boot with it... and it is the only 'product' I use, has no phony smells, just helps mask my scent. The result are nothing short of great - as a ground hunter over natural elevations I have experienced some awesome things. Watched four does walk 80yds down a trail I had come in on that morning, pass within twenty feet of me as I sat 25 ft. above them on a hillside. When I changed my thinking and focus about scent control - so did the number of deer I saw - great video, keep preachin' Jeff!

There are a few of my stands that can only be hunted with a constant north or northwest breeze. Even if the air is calm, the way the currents swirl along the mountainside is something you would never know. I never understood why on calm days it seemed deer would spook no matter the direction from my stand they were. I put up feather light flags around my stand within eyesight, about 50-70 yards out, and was amazed that even when it seemed calm, it was like a cyclone around my stand. No doubt my scent was spreading way beyond those flags, hence the spooked deer in every direction. Those stands are reserved for days where the wind is constant from a certain direction, usually after a cold front passage, which is all the more better anyway. Just a little inside info for those calm days. Be aware that currents can fool you, but they won’t fool a deer’s nose.

I have two deer that I passed on the last two years and now they are 12 and 16 point 4 year old's coming to one of my plots that all is left is clover eaten to the ground. big thanks to my neighbors not planting anything. they have been coming to eat about an hour after sun up every few days, I guess due to the heat. should I wait until after weather event or try to tag one early due to this pattern? season starts here October 2nd.

Try Cedarwood essential oil, it has a very musky earthy cedar smell, and repels ticks and mosquitoes. I was out today with the wrong wind and had 3 breach the tree line right where my scent would have been. I make no claims but could be worth a try, if for nothing else as pest repellant. I got mine from New Directions Aromatics in Canada. If anyone tries it and finds success post back here and let us know!

I also think more people are into trophy hunting than in the past? Maybe more education out there like Jeff and others? I grew up "brown its down" with my dad as well, and we ate venison all year. It wouldn't be unusual for us to kill 10 does, and my heart would race just when a doe came out period. Now, like you, I'm more into deer management and not killing anything that walks. We only own 60 acres, and its actually more fun to me now that I'm older. In fact, last year I didn't shoot a single doe, I let them all walk. I also started following Jeff and others advice. Coincidentally, my dad went down to our land on a random weekday and slipped into a spot I'd been talking about wanting to hunt on that "perfect day", and killed a nice 8pt. Biggest deer killed on our land to date. I agree, nothing wrong with how we used to hunt, I think people are just more educated now on wildlife management. I know I certainly am just in the last 2-3 years, and changed the way I hunt for the better.

Yes! Get out quickly. Longer you sit there the faster the deer pinpoint you. Preferably have a low terrain like dry creek bed Once out of woods I personally have a upside down 5 gal bucket set up at the top of the L. Your stand is here lower right of the L "_" bucket at top of L "I" most deer will flee in a 45° angle away from where the scent came from. If you get out quickly get to the bucket as quietly as possible sit and wait. Deer that flew the area will be heading your way using terrain to their advantage. Generally the high ground where they can see the most.They will head for the safe zone. That zone that noone enters the one where instinctively the matriarch doe has led her offspring and other deer to countless times to pow wow and reorganize

Hang trail cameras 12 feet up on all four corners facing into property. Next find outer space where neighbor bucks would come from Use ONx. Zoom way in. If you dont pay for it it will have several year old data as the image of terrain. Look for natural drainage in fields find a rocked culvert leading to a inlet creek from a field etc place camera in a tree with lithium batteries turn on and face upstream towards field. Fence rows leading out to road one side where land dips down into a low shady grassy area. Remember deer want scent and vision advantage so think like a deer. Stand on perimeter get down to head height of deer 4 .5 feet to 5ft. Look at your property. My best suggestion is get a 2or and strap a camera to it and walk whole perimeter and every 20 to 50 yards turn camera in towards property see what they see. Then any road where your property has either grass-road- field note it and use the military Crest to diagonally get from car to stand. After awhile once you find direction of travel wire snip out some barn wire weave in high branches like a vertical basket weave to force the deer to go where you want them to till up openings in woods and plant switch grass and egyptian wheat also pile branches up to help block their views.

Simple buy and plant switch grass row on left switch grass tow on right and leave middle tilled plant clover all the way up to your edge of cover. Place stand setup 30 yards from where you taught the deer to stage up. Like a giant upside down stop sign. The sign area is small saplings piles of brush and maybe a water hole. Hell surround whole outer shape of stop sign design with metal fence stakes and 30lb test fishing line like barb wire only invisible to deer. So they train themselves to walk up the sign post eating clover gently nudged by fishing line up to a staging area. Then critical last step is to plant 3 apple trees right where sign post meets octagon sign. This way you reward the deer and thank the deer for coming onto your land. Leave stand and setup be for 3 years. Then huntvstand when wind is right. By then all the does will have learned that your property A is safe, B is human free and C it is very yummy. Next about 50 yards from stand build a foot high by 2 foot deep wood box lay on its side and place oil bnb pan full of fly bait. This will indeed kill all of the raccoons and possums that live near your stand. Foolproof deer proof

Hunting in the mountains is tough with swirling winds all day long. The thermal early and late are the only way I can effectively control scent directions and only for a short time each day. Who wants to get off stand at 10am. I use ozonics to control those late mornings swirls. And I was very skeptical but it works when used properly. But you can't use it as a crutch is the main thing a bad wind can't be hunted, but wind blows everywhere every day be prepared for it. OLD DOG "Jeff"LEARN A NEW TRICK!!!! OZONICS WORK.
