New Scent Control!! THE BEST COVER UP SCENT!!!! Changes Everything!! Part Two.

[@skip6]

If you have a 2nd 5gal bucket you can drill a bunch of holes in to make a strainer then when your done with the walnuts you pull the first bucket out and in the 2nd bucket you'll be left with the mixture!

[@frankpietrowski7747]

I made a bottle after seeing the first video. I used it this past weekend on opening day of bow. I had a buck below my stand for 45mins (not a shooter) and did not smell me at all. I also take a lot of care with my clothing beside using the cover scent but I think an extra step never hurts.

[@PatrickHoover]

Thats awesome!!

[@jaybennett7242]

We use to use walnuts for dying and staining our traps before trapping season, also helped with scent control too. We use to half the walnuts in a washtub filled with water over a fire, bring it to a boil and place the traps in it

[@williamchristy3063]

Great video! However, this old timers trick works for any food source preferred by local game animals - alfalfa hay, apples, acorns, etc. Back in the day, we took it one more step. After the soaking, we'd squeeze all the juice out of the plants back into the soaking water before bottling the water in a spray bottle. For sappy plants, the sap really helped the scent strength. Happy hunting!

[@staceyswelding]

I started using this this year after I saw the first video!!!! It has been awesome

[@3hangnail]

You can also pour the water with the walnuts on the ground after it sits for a few days . Sit back and watch night crawlers come to the top.

[@whitetailsdeerhunting7159]

Awesome! I have struggled for years washing my clothes in scent free detergent and keeping my clothes in a bin. I still get busted. This year I am washing my clothes in baking soda and hanging them in a a covered lean to outside in the fresh air. Then putting the clothes in my container and sprinkling dry baking soda on the clothes. Your walnut spray may be just the thing that helps get that big buck another 10 steps closer in the fall. TY so much for sharing. Curt WhitetailsDeerHunting

[@josephcraven2840]

Great video, back in the 70’s I used boil my traps in walnuts to sterilize the traps and make them scent free. It worked then and I’m sure this will work also. What a game changer. Keep the videos coming thanks again. God bless you! Joe C Virginia

[@PatrickHoover]

I’m going to use it for my traps this year. Thanks. And thank you.

[@kennyd2134]

Boiling traps in walnuts only dies the trap and covers the steel scent, sterilizing isnt needed since your going put traps underwater or cover them with dirt,

[@roostercogburn5005]

First, love the channel. I'm big on scent control, as any serious hunter must be. That said, I feel the urge to bring some light to the topic of "cover scents."" Im a professional k9 handler/master trainer, and so the science of scent is directly in my wheelhouse. Deer, just like dogs, have the ability to individually distinguish over 100 scents simultaneously. To illustrate this to my students, I use the "vegetable stew" analogy. When you and I smell the stew, we may pick up one or two of the more prominent scents like onions or garlic, but for the most part, we smell the totality of the concoction... the sum of its parts. Deer, on the other hand, smell each odor individually and simultaneously. It is literally just as impossible to cover-up your human odor as it is to completely eliminate it. If you are fooling deer, its because you are wind and scent conscious. I do believe you can reduce your scent signature and fool a deer into believing you are farther away that you actually are. The commercial hunting industry has soaked billions out of the everyday hunter and I'm here to tell you that its all placebo. Nonetheless, I really do love the channel and hope you have continued success. God bless.

[@mash4fun]

I saw a video where they used a german shepard and tried to cover a human with the leading deer cover sprays they had 4 huge boxes and a person would hide in one of the boxes. Nothing fooled the dog

[@devinwilliams9779]

If you breathe, they’ll smell you!!!!

[@ElephantInTheRoom972]

I remember playing around with walnuts and staining my hands as a kid, never would have thought to use them as a scent cover. Great video! Might have to give this a try!

[@perrylongjr7478]

Went and got a bucket of them this evening , got them soaking. Thanks for tip. I have always smoked my clothes but I will definitely give this a try.

[@bch5513]

Miss living in the Midwest. Had a walnut in my front yard. Now I'm waaay down south.

[@williamschmitz3362]

You can also light boil them outside and does good also.

[@SH-fw4ef]

Will it hurt to let the walnut sit in water for roughly 10 days to soak before you put in spray bottles?

[@ryanharkins9383]

I wonder if hickory nits will work

[@Kyndalmccaleb7635]

Got my bottles made plus 3 more gallons. Looking forward to trying this. Thanks so much!

[@PatrickHoover]

That’s what I’ve been doing the last couple days making more. It works great.

[@davidlyons5614]

I’ve been using black walnuts as a cover scent for years but I just throw freshly picked walnuts in the bottom of an air tight container I bought at Walmart for a few bucks (no pun intended) and cover them with a scent free old towel. After washing clothes in scent free detergent, dry well, and put them into the container, and “immediately” after every hunt everything goes back into the container.

[@mckinneysoutdoorservice1231]

Just tried it last week, it works, thanks for the info

[@PatrickHoover]

Thats awesome!

[@clifowen4300]

I wonder if hickory nuts would work. I don't have a walnut tree around here but lots of hickories

[@792Kenny]

Where do you draw the line for a good/bad walnut? Most of the ones on the ground near me have black spots already and cracks on the hull. Still good or do they need to be almost perfect?

[@longdrawarcher4857]

So possibly a dumb statement but I feel like if you were in a hurry to have some, you should be able to boil them and achieve the same result. That being said, I have never attempted it. But I’m glad you shared this video, because this should be potent and effective.

[@ashleyleonard4570]

I made some up using quart water bottles 2-3 walnuts pure bottle. Ready to use in 10 minutes. Found after 2 weeks of not straining it will mold on top. Love the stain it does takes the brightness down gives clothing and backpacks more a natural color. Will give this a good try this season. All i can say is make more than a gallon if this is your go to cover sent. I need to make more soon and fast. Thanks for the pointer. Im not a head hunter harvest enough venison i havent bought beef in several years. Thanks again

[@nathenfarmer5625]

Never heard of this, ill give a go . Thanks for the info 👍

back in the day i worked on a dairy farm, on my day off i would wear my dairy barn coveralls and rubber boots when i went deer hunting, the deer would walk right up to me,!! i thank it was because i smelled like a cow.

[@harveyrousejr.2069]

I'm located in coastal NC and black walnut trees are fairly common. Thanks for the tip. I've used vanilla extract diluted in distilled water and it helps with scent control.

Wouldn't it be easier to just break them apart as you put them in the bucket? Just asking.

[@huntingandfishingwithlogan2367]

[@hilldweller8610]

Thanks for the great tip. This is exactly what I’m looking for. Easy to make and smells good. I used this my last hunt , with conjunction of scent lok, and had a couple small bucks around the base of my tree and they didn’t pick me up. So far first impressions are good. I’ll be hunting some public land bottoms in November, for the real test, and report back how it works out - thanks Also, it seemed to somewhat help keeping the mosquitoes away.

[@striperswiper1]

Would using persimmons be sticky due to the natural sugars in them?

Have you tried vanilla extract in a spray bottle mixed with water for scent cover up.

[@PatrickHoover]

I have not. Let me know if you do try this year how it works.

[@SuperDave-pe1zw]

I've used vanilla and anise mixture for over 25 years and it works great. My wife uses it and I've only told 1 friend and he swears by it too. The Anise adds a black licorice smell. I don't use it as an attractant but sometimes deer will sniff where I've sprayed it but never spook.

[@ET-sp6qm]

Hunting public adds an extra element. I have to pack in light and walk at a moderate pace to not break a sweat then add clothes from pack at the bottom of tree. After that it’s a prayer I didn’t put in all that work only to see a headlight come crashing around in the area.

[@PatrickHoover]

I understand that. I hunt public every year. Private too. I am the same way walk in for a few miles in a T-shirt when it’s 20°. Just so I don’t sweat. Then climb up the tree and put my clothes on. And hope no one comes and hunts near me.😂 and I take a spray bottle with walnuts spray, and spray down a bunch.😂

[@nclifeoutdoors2669]

@PatrickHoover I'm in NC so we do use corn. I put it out with the corn. So when I hunt I put it out once i get to the tree. I got my first good bow buck this year using it. He came dead down wind of me at about 10 yards and I was up about 10' off the ground. Shot him at 30yards. Scored 123" weighed 190lbs. 4.5year deer. The wind was blowing about 5 to 8mph. Worked for me and I was sweating.

Have you ever been busted using it

[@PatrickHoover]

I have not. But that’s just one of the things I do. Definitely want to watch my other Scent control videos too. That walnut spray is the best cover-up Scent I’ve ever used.

[@mrpush2532]

Honestly, I think scent control is way overrated. Yes, if you go to hunt with massive BO, your gonna be picked up by scent easier. However, its wind direction that is way more important than scent control. Consider this, your breath alone carries enough scent molecules that deer can smell out to 100 yds or so. (You.are not shooting deer at 100 yards with a bow) Unless you don't breathe while hunting, you are NOT concealing your position to deer if they are down wind of you! Again, wind direction is way more important! Now also temperature matters! If it's at freezing or below, deer can't smell as well. So you can get away with more bo. Folks, hunt the wind, don't go out smelling like you just worked 8 hours in a sweat shirt and forget spraying a bunch of stuff on you. Hunt in colder weather and increase your chances even more. Yes spraying your boots to control scent you leave on the ground can help a bit im sure, but Honestly? I've had deer walk.the same trail I used to a stand and not smell my "boot prints" at all. (Or not care). Don't go out smelling like a laborer, and you will do fine if you hunt based on wind direction. Hunt in the cold and your even less likely to be picked up. Done. Dont need any special sprays. Do you think the aboriginease took showers before going to hunt? No. They just keep there pray upwind when hunting!
