Nose jammer and scent killer

[NYRturkeycall]

Nose jammer and scent killer...or scent killer only?

I still hunt a find a tree base for now, use scent killer on all my stuff, shower up and deodorant with scent killer products morning of, and spray down before walking in.

Never used a nose jammer.  Any success with both, especially with swirling winds?

Play the wind and save your money. Swirling winds are related to topology or change in vegetation. Moving a stand 20yds makes the difference.

Always play the wind, but I’ve had good luck with scent killer and ever calm. I’ve actually had deer down wind  with their noses in the air sniffing and looking for the (other new deer) using ever calm . I apply to the bottom and side of my rubber boots .

I use the scent killer shampoo/body wash and deodorant.  It doesn’t cost much more than regular stuff so I figure why not ?    I also use evercalm on my boots walking into my stand, applied the last couple hundred yards or so, then scrape some on my tree when I get there.  It’s very easy to apply (way better than the liquids) and only $20. 
 

Most importantly, especially when hunting from the ground, I try to keep the wind to my advantage, especially when walking to an ambush location.

When I am hunting the big woods of the Adirondacks, I will use my old 4x4 plow truck to get downwind, as close as I can on the logging roads, before walking in to my spots.  That closed cab fools the deer’s nose a lot better than an open atv or side by side.
