What is your secret way to trick elks nose

[singleshot12]

For you guys that cut out meat are you eating raw or cooked veggies? Do you keep it up at camp too? Sounds awfully tough...

Raw and cooked.. lots of fruit,beans, rice, peanut butter, it's all good.There are alot of soy products now that are high in protein that simulate meat too.

so its basically all meats you stay away from? fish poultry pork beef? i may be interested in trying this. that is if i hve the will power.

All meats, anything a predator would eat.

Gee whizz....what ever did our dad's and grandads do?  Oh, that's right. We didn't kill any elk before scent free clothing, sprays, scents, gps, compound bows, stainless rifles that will shoot to Seattle from my house, and oh yes of course, the internet.

Elk are not as scent wary as deer but can be much more aware of movement due to the fact that they tent to travel in greater numbers that deer.  More elk = more eyes looking for you.  I go as scent free as possible when bowhunting deer but don't bother as much with elk.  I prefer to hunt elk in the rain or wind so scent and movement is masked a little bit.

you can cover yourself in elk piss and stink to high heaven, but to an elk, you are just going to smell like some dude that got pissed on by an elk...

I was told "an Elk will hear you 3 times, see you twice, but only smell you once"

Those exact words have reached Biblical Status in our elk camp...

HaHa in my early days hunting elk with a bow my hunting partner and myself would put (4) sets of hunting clothes in separate plastic bags one month before hunting season and pour cow in heat scent , cedar and fir bowels in the bags and seal them up.. Opening day when you opened the bag you nearly puked - we would be driving up the road with the windows down gagging - it worked though because we were into bow range with elk everyday - Back then everyone was using camo fletching and you couldn't see where you hit the elk - We went to Red and White Fletching and made up camo polar fleece covers over the fletching with a (2) inch tail at the end of the covers so you could pull the cover off - We sprayed cow in heat on the covers so when you moved the bow back and forth it would dispurse the scent ( The Bow has Human Scent all over it being you shoot it all summer long !!! ) - Also the guys without the covers you could see a half ridge away because they would be moving the bow back and forth ! Also we changed our hats everyday because of the sweat.

Hey guys one more thing: does any one who has a canvase walltent try to use some Cabelas waterproof staff to add some more water repellents to the tent? I did two years ago and shoot that staff smells really bad like a paint thinner, first I thought its going to get away in a while but its not, sure it did  the work to keep you dry but the smell kills me. I think that when i leave the tent i smell relly bad. Does any one else have the same problem or may be you all ready did find the way how to get read off that smell?

I have hunted areas where the wind is either sworlling or dead calm.
What is down wind when there is no wind?
What about when the wind is blowing in all directions?

What is down wind when there is no wind?

There's ALWAYS wind.  That's why a windicator is essential equipment.

Be out there long enough so you stink as bad as everything else...then rub yourself down with pine branches for the pitch...then stay down wind....
