What is your secret way to trick elks nose

[vaz,,66]

I just think that would be nice to hear how everyone does their prep to be
not busted during the hunt, I now that the most important thing is to keep the wind in your face, but when you go to that dark timber  there is not much wind down there to keep.
What I learned ( and  it works pretty good for me) that before I leave my house for a hunting trip especially on the archery season I  go to sauna a few times. What it does it cleans not only your skin but much deeper your whole system. We all now that the perspiration is our enemy, no matter what kind of soup or body wash you use, you'll stay clean till you start climb that hill . When we take shower we just clean the surface of our body but the staff which is deep in our skin stay untouched and as soon as we start doing some physical work its get out. Simply why is a swamp is smelly and the river is not? When you use the sauna you clean your self from inside out and riplace that liquid your body supposed to keep to prevent your skin from drying out, you can see the difference from your first session in the souna to the next one, at the first the presporation is very salty its even irritate your eyes if it gets there but ofter while it turns out just like a water, It helps me stay clean longer.
Now what is your trick?

Make sure I hunt on flat land and take lots of brakes!

 No secrets here.  Just keep the wind in my face.  If I can't get the wind right, I back out or circle around.  Sometimes I will use outdoor reasearch dirt cover scent, but after a few days in the backcountry nothing will cover up the funk.

thermals,and wind direction,,,I dont believe in any thing else

[rotty33]

there is nothing better than thermals and wind direction. I don't think there is any way to completely eliminate odor if the wind is blowing toward them. It might help a little, but they will still smell you, especially with 10-20 noses.

I had a chance to meet some guys during the hunt they been stink like they just cover themselves with elk dropings, at the first i didn't now what to think then i got the idea they literally covered themselves with the elk dropings to cover their own smell .
What is your opinion  for that practice, does it help?

Did they get any elk? I think before i rub poo all over me I'm going find out if it works for someone else.

I'm not sure how well it works, but i do try to use elk urine since I am trying to fool his ears by sounding like a cow, I figure I better smell like one just in case the wind shifts. I know darn well it isn't fool proof because when that wind shift comes it's been game over more often than not, but if it makes a difference even a fraction of the time then it has to be worth it. Besides, who doesn't love that smell?

wind thats it

[rosscrazyelk]

keep the wind in your favor .... thats it

[iRem]

Spray some of that nasty smelling “cow elk in estrus urine” into the air and on you to help cover your scent. If you want to continue to cover yourself with schhit go ahead, I do...
