For you guys wanting a western US hunting-centric magazine:

I agree, east coast hunting is BORING to read about. All the guys on archerytalk with pages and pages of being worried about "practicing to 100 yards so the close shots are easy", but then they all talk about how they never shoot an animal beyond 30 yards cus their shooting lanes are so short. Brah, if you can't hit a friggin deer at 30 yards from a tree stand without practicing to 100 yards, wth?

And the scent control, oh goodness (as if grandpa wasn't smoking an unfiltered lucky strike and drinking from a warm thermos of sludge-like coffee). And the uber-camo camo stuff coming out (as if grandpa didn't do it better with a red flannel jacket on).

If I've learned anything on Archerytalk, it's that the eastern hunting scene is a bunch of gear obsessed wankers and the hunting sounds boring as can be.

I really wonder about scent myself. The animals I've shot have been so close I could practically smell them. On one hand if an animal is weary, they tend to see/hear/smell you from a mile away. On the other hand they seem to be like people in that they must not be switched on 100% of the time because sometimes you walk right up to them.

In my experience, scent is mostly about the chemicals we use. Soap, deodorant, shampoo, scents in the laundry soap and dryer sheets, etc. The scent of a predator is less obnoxious to game animals than those chemicals. I was told that a long time ago by a hunter who had a lot of game, some in the record books. He went low meat and no soap, shampoo or deodorant for 2 weeks before the hunt. He washed all of his clothes with homemade soaps, then again with no soap and laid them out in the sun for several days. First time I followed his plan at 21 years of age, I went from seeing Deer and Elk at distance, to seeing them close and got my first bull. I had a small Buck actually step over my legs where I was set up on a trail bow hunting for Elk.

Deodorant is something I'll never not wear, but that's it. If I didn't wear deodorant, I'd be too busy smelling myself to concentrate on the hunt much.

You ever try the no scent deodorant stuff?
