True story- a few years ago I knew a trespasser was hunting my land. I found where he was driving into a neighbors land, hiding his truck in a low draw, and walking in to hunt mine. He left his truck with a bottle of scent blocking spray on his tailgate. I emptied the bottle and refilled it from my bladder and put it back on his tailgate.

I’ve always been convinced that scent blockers never work to hide your scent. All they do is paint an illusion that you are farther away from them than what you really are which gives you an advantage. Also the deer rarely get close enough to pinpoint the source before it’s too late!! Enjoyed the educational purposes of the video tho.

Bingo. Most deer have encountered humans and human smell many times. But as they touched on at the end the key is reducing the smell to a level they dont feel that the threat is nearby. In other words its so weak they thing it is either days old or far away. I tried ozonics last year combined with scent control and i had many deer downwind under 50 yards and they were spooky as heck but they didnt blow and they didnt run off. Without anything in the past when they got downwind it was game over. Deer blowing like crazy and running off looking back right at me lol

The ticket is to be down wind

I think a big factor is also attentive-ness or attention. For this test, the dog is focused and actively searching for something he knows is there. A deer is passively scenting the air for something that may be there while it’s attention is focused somewhere else. The key is to mitigate your scent and play the wind to a degree where so little of your odor makes it to the deer they overlook it. It doesn’t matter if they smell you if it’s minimized to a degree where they either don’t notice it or they dismiss it.

This is 100% true, I have had dogs walk right past their favorite food and miss it in the grass and then telling them to search is a elevated to their senses that there is something there because the dog is trusting their handler. So this isn’t a test of smell at all. Passively smelling is way different then active alerted smelling. Just like the handler said he is active using a search pattern. Deer scan and move and smell passively and in most areas are used to some human smell think WMA. But if a deer is in a heighten state of alertness there isn’t a single thing that it won’t run from a smell or a bird chirp or stick snapping or a squirrel. That’s why we hunt bedding areas because the deer a calm and not alerted and relaxed so they are actively looking for threats.

I see a flaw in this and that’s they should have sprayed every box with the sprays and then the person. That way the dog doesn’t focus on the box with the spray, because every box has the spray and the dog will solely rely on the smell of a person. Amazing video either way.

Awesome Job guys! Mark and Mattis take the win! There’s nothing this amazing guy can’t find or do!

Love the channel. Having a good time with friends wherever you go. Think bow hunting, especially deer hunting, is a lost art. Love the Christian bend - thanking God. Keep up the good work.

So glad y’all are doing this! I am glad to see the “scent control market” debunked.

I've done a ton of hiking & backpacking in my life & have filmed some of it, one of the reasons I got into hunting is I would see deer & bear just walking through the woods making ton's of foot noise, talking to my camera, no scent control, no camo, white shoes lol, moving briskly, no care of the wind & I still run up on something at least every other hike/trip. Not always but most of the time. Since I've been learning to hunt & controlling my speed & just walking slowly & trying to avoid stick's & pine cones I'm seeing only slightly more deer. I feel like there is a divide between the hiking/backpacking & hunting community, from this side looking in the hunters assume a lot of times they are the only person "out there" when in reality you have hikers, backpackers, surveyors, schools, loggers, farmers, poachers, homeless, meth heads & all kinds of other random things that go into places you think are really remote. A lot of animals are used to people & I truly believe don't care nearly as much about us as many of these videos claim, & I ask this if HUNTER X claims scent control really really works like a lot of these talking heads do then what other thing's are they telling you that are also BS that they support? Again all that is from a intermediate backpacker & noob hunter but if you just focus on walking slower, not being to loud & going in the woods a lot/covering ground you will be fine getting close to & seeing animals. Some of these critters including the deer & bear are often drawn to sound so one could even say making the right noise helps, I've drawn in a number of deer over the years just making noise or getting something out if my pack & there it is peeking at me from 20 yards away, really my dudes just go out there & go slow you will be fine you don't need to do most of the thing's I've seen in a lot of these videos. But this video is gold. In my backpacking/hiking encounters the deer would always hang out for a moment or walk a little closer then leave but one thing that DOES work is a fawn/doe call to bring them back. Once the deer pops out of sight hit that call a few times & so far it will bring them back for another look. Hope this helps! Don't fret the small stuff too much you will see nearly the same amount of deer just walking through the woods as the guy spending tons of cash soaked in deer piss moving at a snails pace.

Most of what you said it true, but there is a difference in being able to see an animal and being able to harvest an animal. In most bow hunting situations they have to get within 30 yards and not be alerted by your movement. Which for most people means being in a blind or up in a tree. I see deer all the time when walking my dog, but normally they are crossing the trail or you just see a white tail and hooves, neither of which I'd be able to take a shot at in a hunting situation.

All true statements. I have seen some videos and podcasts talking about the possibility of pheromones playing a role in what the deer do when they smell us. It's been proven that animals, including us, give off different pheromones depending on mood. So the theories researchs/hunters are trying figure out is what types we give off when we're in a "hunting mood" or "predator state" vs in a "joyful hike state". It will be interesting to see what people come up with to test this in the future.

@@softaildiaries yeah, the cross contamination that's created during this entire process eliminates the results from being anything else other the therm showing that a dog can indicate on par. Your foot scent trail will be there for quite a long time, and brush scents even longer. There's "tracking" and "trailing" for our scent dogs. Tracking is finding the scent on the ground, and trailing is finding the scent in the air when they stick their heads straight up. When going to the stand any brush, branches, leaves, ground foliage, or other things youn brush against are going to contain your scent. Given that even if they took descented showers, they more than likely did all of the following that contains powerful scents that re-contaminate themselves - dried off with scented towel - walked through house with scent signatures all around - touched door handles, equipment, and other items that left scent on them - drove in a vehicle that resaturated them with tons of scent - perspiration when getting going to and from the stand - the list goes on and on of ways they resaturate themselves. So, all of that leaves a scent trail to follow even if dousing yourself in stuff to implode and neutralize the main scent molecules because you can't get every single square MM of your body and clothes. And since we know canine olfactory abilities are unimaginably superior to most, you're not fooling it just with some sprays unless you put EXTREMELY strict scent control protocols into place to eliminate any cross contaminating. But these sprays don't "mask your scent" to the point of making you invisible either. They're designed to give you a weaker scent signature left behind for deer to smell, so they liken your scent trail with a much older or further away scent so that they will likely come in range. If deer thinks your further away, they'll come closer in. But, literally NOTHING will beat being downwind of them or a dog even. But, even then, the really mature ones will circle around wide to catch any drifting scent downwind before they move into an area just out of caution and experience.

Great job guys ! I agree with everything that your test may have proven. BTW I had a German Shepard that looked just like your K-9 friend there and his nose was incredible. Sometimes I think we overthink scent control products. By far the best scent control product is the wind and it has to be in our favor or your busted. I have tried everything and I can’t say anyone one product worked better than the others. Now days I just look for cedar trees and pine trees and rub the oil from the young trees on my clothes and boots. I also put my boots in a box with corn in it when in the truck. It may not work but it saves me money for better arrows and broad heads by not buying expensive sprays that may or may not work. Lol ! Thanks guys ! Great job !! 👍👍

I’d like to see a similar test, but instead of being in a box on a ground go to the next level. Put yourself in a tree stand/saddle at hunting height. Will that height make a difference? Will the dog be able to pick out the tree you’re in? Just something that came to mind while watching. Good video

Back in 2013, I decided to research what is in the most effective scent sprays and I came across a study of a chemist who tested which scent sprays work the best and why. He used live cultured bacteria. Then he published his own DYI formula based on his findings. He demonstrated that his formula actually did kill the germs that cause odor but he also demonstrated that all sprays are limited as far as effectiveness which I think is demonstrated by the dog in your video. This formula was very close to some of the top brand of 2013 as best he could tell. I made his scent spray formula for several years for pennies on the dollar for store bought. If you want to know the formula for the most effective scent spray, I published it on my channel back in 2013 here - kzread.info/dash/bejne/X3eIuLWAnsrdo7g.html - If you don't want to watch the whole thing just go to the 1:12 mark for the formula and take a screen shot.

Coupled with the dog handlers opinion about detecting scent versus knowing the source. I believe the more you sent reduce during hunting season and heavily hunted public land, increases your likelihood of having deer sightings. Almost all of my encounters last year was from the downwind direction. I hunt the wind and do scent control. I try to go as fanatical as I can with removing sense not covering it over. It seems that the earlier into the hunts and the more set control prep that I do, coupled with having good win control and a good location, and yes controlling my sound , increases my likelihood of seeing deer. I believe that deer are able to recognize quantity of scent as a form of geolocating, and if a hunter is say in their opinion a quarter or half mile away and One direction stagnant why do they need to move on. Versus heavy sense that puts put some Hunter's proximity closer.

Being a dog handler myself I've often wondered how these products are bought and sold. Every handler when he goes to training is taught dogs smell each individual odor and people use the "grandma's chicken noodle soup" analogy. You walk in her house and smell that she's cooking soup. The dog walks in a smells the chicken, the celery, the carrots, the onions, the noodles and so on. So basically these sprays will just add an odor to smell WITH your human odor. Not to mention.... a deer has 297 million olfactory receptors and dogs have 220 million.

Cool test and awesome dog and handler.

I thought it was extremely enlightening.

i’ve had this work multiple times we take the leaves and all the natural plants of the property and boil them and take that water as a spray and ive had success with it

I think your hunting conditions is a huge part as well. You guys are are in between houses hunting backyards. The amount of human and other not natural scents is a lot more than hunting 60k acres. As well as how the deer have adapted to living in these areas. Love this episode yall are awesome keep up good job

Scent eliminator sprays confuse deer more than anything. My mother and I owned a deer farm for several years before she passed, and the deer were used to our scent. Every time I went to feed or water them while on my way out to the stand, they would be totally confused and suspicious until they heard my voice. Even my pet doe Violet, who was tamer than most dogs, would act very suspicious until I spoke every time I was sprayed down with scent killer. Nose jammer, on the other hand, is completely different. The deer were comfortable with that, but very, very curious. Walking into the pens wearing nose jammer ensured that all the bottle fed does would swarm me, and be a complete annoyance. I suppose it smells like a tasty treat to them.

Great idea / vid

Whoooohooohoooo that’s a goooodddd booooyyyyyyy😂😭

The best way to do this was to take the same item and place them in all of the boxes with a different spray on that item and see which one he goes to first. Once detected, remove that one and then let him do again, and each time remove the one he detects till you get down to the last one. Eliminate the reward so there is no incentive for him to return to the same box. I’d be curious to see which scent eliminator, or cover scent is the last one standing.

Love your guys videos

Very impressed thank you

I use scentlok clothing and scent spray and still get caught by deer. I think it works to a degree by letting less of your scent to reach the deer. Not sure if that's what's really happening, but when I do see deer downwind it does seem that they get closer before they react. Of course that's hard to prove. Interesting test though, that dog is awesome

Hunt the wind. I quit the scent killer game years ago. I used to be nuts about it but experience tells the tale.

I think the most adorable thing is he has a shirt with his dog on it, what did humans do to deserve dogs?

We literally created them. That's why we deserve them.

@@samyish I'm pretty sure humans didn't create dogs, we've definitely messed up dogs with breeding and all these other things though

You grabbed the box with your bare hand when you threw the hat under.

Coyotes have the same nose. It's a lot of work to bring them into airgun range. It is truly a wind game. Great video y'all.

Great test was quite entertaining. I kinda see it like, you will always know when your wife or kids buys French fries and eats it in your car. The fries scent no matter how much febreeze was sprayed will still linger and I can still smell both.

Good to see mattis again seen him on tic tok for a while

Not even 5 mins in and love it

Awesome dog!

That dog is amazing.

I only use scent killer to spray my rubber boots down for the walk in, it seems to somewhat work, the few times I haven’t used it I watched deer hit my ground scent and turn around, with scent killer they check it out but keep going or actually follow it

Some of that crap is only good for removing waterproofing from your hunting clothes... just play the wind and save the money on more tags. Lol

100 percent smoke covers human scent and deer don’t relate that to a threat for the most part . You guys should try a smoker from tractor supply see if it helps you game changer for me

I have used a bee smoker with wood chips for over 20 years with excellent success . Deer don't associate the smoke with humans. It works! Think about it. The only reason you don't see the big companies advertise it is because they can't make money on it. Try it and you will be convinced.

@@BowhuntingRoad I'm not saying they can't smell you, I'm saying using smoke doesn't alarm them. They don't associate it with a human. You can believe what you want. I've used smoke for 20 years and I know it works. I still use scent control on my gear and use soap, I just add smoke to everything before I go out. The only draw back is you smell like a campfire when you get home and need to shower.
