Looking to try out a new deer scent cover this upcoming season. What is the best one that has worked for you over the years?
Every hunter/gatherer civilization going back thousands of years has used various methods to cover their scent. So the principle has merit.
Ah, I'm pretty sure most, if not all, hunters still do. We just call it "science" and "proper preparation" now instead of "magic and spiritual ritual." Hence the odor reducing/covering scents/clothing, camouflage, stuffing pine needles into your pockets or whatever, eating bland food for days before, handloading your favorite bullet (or buying your "perfect" bullet), etc. and so on.They also invoked magic and spiritual ritual for hunting. So if we are going to say that this has merit based on h&g societies, then we cannot rule out the necessity of invoking magic and involving spiritual rituals.
