Wash your hair with some anise oil ,then use some vanilla extract for daily odor.I would think you'll have that bear in no time. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :dunno:

When a leaf falls in the woods - the hawk sees it, the deer hears it, but the bear smells it.

Seriously - if you want a bear that is easily fooled, go to the back side of a neighborhood where they roam. They are habituated in many rural areas and easy to get close to.
Just sit on a trail near homes. Make sure you are within arrow distance of a house. That's where they usually are these days. Those bruins are fattened-up and ready for the sausage pan!

They only put them on once they are out of their truck and starting their walk. They change boots, socks, underwear, everything. Once they change, they spray themselves down again.

Ya but - real men don't wear underwear.
And some of them spray themselves down with.....uhmmm, well, I guess I can't say.  :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

I think some of the best cover scent is smoke.

With all the fires in the state. I doubt it would bother them at all.

I was calling bears a couple years ago with an RRCALL and called one up to the front of my pickup hood, literally. I was standing next to the truck front door, 5 feet from him in Levis and a hickory shirt. No scent spray. I didn't even hear him come up the steep incline with lots of gravel. He took off just as silent...
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

True that. Used to actually use smoke to cover the scents on my foothold traps and snares back in Europe.

@frogman338 bears are just too cool when it comes to their nose, but you can try your DIY scent cover and see if it does anything. Good luck!
