Common Scents Strategies

Today’s advanced whitetail hunters have a much more complete understanding of what it takes to be consistently successful than ever before. They are savvy about the rut, treestand placement, rubs, scrapes, and the roles played by thermals and prevailing wind air currents–in ways that confound all but the most seasoned hunters. Now veteran whitetail hunter and author Rick Combs has compiled some of the most insightful information on how to hunt the elusive whitetail by defeating a deer’s primary sense of defense–its nose, or olfactory sense–and shares tactics for defeating a buck’s sense of sight and hearing, too.

With contemplation, Combs also dispels many myths and provides the latest information on all aspects of using scents, including sexual attraction, curiosity, food, and cover. Combs asks, “Can a deer that can detect onion at a concentration of one onion molecule per billion other molecules fail to detect human odor because it’s mixed with a few drops of doe urine?” Find out for yourself in this one-of-a-kind, straightforward, and well-written volume.

This book sheds light on myriad tactics that will help you put deer in your sights every season. It is a book to which you will refer again and again and glean new insights each time. Common Scent Strategies belongs in every deer hunter’s library.
