....how do you try to control it!
IMHO, this is the number one thing most difficult to eliminate or control. We can use scent free soaps for our bodies and clothes,carbon lined clothes with scent eliminating capabilities,smoke and earthly cover up scents like earth,acorns or critter piss but our breath is constantly pumped into the air currents and thermals every other second. I've always firmly believed that our breath is our biggest nemesis when trying to beat the Whitetails nose, especially mature bucks and does.
I've used baking soda to brush and gargle with before hunts and chlorophyll gum and even eating a few apples through the day. I often sit in the stand thinking of ways to beat this problem. I've even dreamt up having a long hose stretching up from my perch to the top of the tree I'm in along the trunk sending my breath way up over the trees and beyond...rotflmao!
I've got the vise of dipping which I've done over 30 some years and need to quit but its very hard to shake! Very hard!!! I really enjoy this bad habit especially when hunting and fishing, they seem to go hand in hand for me going back to when I was 16 years old.
This is an extra strike or two against me while trying to beat the olfactory senses of the WHITETAIL...
