I also agree. I had used scents for many years. Last year I read an article written by a reputable professional hunter and he no longer uses scents. I decided to not use them this year and I did not notice much of a difference in sightings. I harvested a mature 11 point on Nov. 5th. One less thing to worry about. I just try to stay as scent free as possible and minimize movement while calling or rattling.
