Rasbo. I have always wondered about skunk being used as a cover scent. Since the skunk usually only sprays when threatened is it reasonable to assume that this scent would send an alarm to other animals in the area. I have seen people use it before as a cover and always wondered if they were spooking or at least alerting other animals to a possible threat. Even if it is only to peak their interest they might be more alert than if you were scent free (I know it's hypothetical) Just curious to your thoughts on this.

OT, thanks for the info on suspenders found exactly what I wanted.

Go easy on the stuff, like a drop to a gallon. You can always add more later. You can never remove it.
I personally don't like the stuff unless you like to catch skunks. It'll draw them in. I don't think we have cold enough weather on the westside to need it.
