But the laces will give you away unless you tuck them in so they’re not exposed or spray with deer or elk pee for them what uses it.
Ever try Obenauf’s? Works very well.
I was out setting up camp many years ago on a Sunday ( Sunday hunting was illegal back then), was coming back to camp with a load of firewood, when I decided to check out this cut block. I was sitting on a log,looking, when I heard a twig snap. I saw 2 does walking towards me. I just sat still, and they walked right up to me. One actually sniffed my knee (I felt her nose touch my knee). She backed off about 2 feet, and started eating with her friend. They eventually wandered off. I wasn’t wearing anything “scent proof”, a pair of Carhartt work pants, and a sweat shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and a pair of old work boots.
