December 15, 2003 Dear Leon
I just wanted to let you know about the success I have had getting close to deer using your scent elimination products. About two weeks ago I was bow hunting in a treestand and had a spike come under my stand and
stand there for about a minute before he wandered on off. Looked at me a couple of times and never even really gave me a second thought. He grazed around and simply wandered off unaware I was anywhere around.
This past week I have been muzzleloader hunting off the ground in a different county. Saturday I had a spike walk directly to me and come within 4 or 5 yards before
he noticed me sitting between two fallen logs. He never could figure out what I was. He stomped a little and bobbed his head trying to get me to move.
He finally bounded off about 20 yards and walked off. He never ran off or blew at me so I'm sure he never smelled me.
I was hunting at the same spot again Thursday morning and two spikes came up the trail toward
me. One turned and walked within about 15 yards around the end of the log to my right and the other one went on past me and was going around the tree to my left. He got downwind and
crossed my scent trail I had made and turned and came straight back toward me. He came around the end of the fallen log and walked straight toward me. He got within 1 or 2 yards and
just walked down the side of the log toward where the other deer had gone. It's the first time I've actually been a little nervous about a deer getting so close. He saw me, but barely gave me a glance.
I'm amazed at the effectiveness of your scent control and elimination products. I'm using the body wash and shampoo, deodorant and body spray. If I feel like I've gotten some scent on my clothes
I spray them down with the clothes spray.
Hopefully, before season is over, something besides a spike will get close!
I still have plenty of most of the products you sent except for the Big Game Scrape Combo. The
rut really is just getting started here in North Mississippi. In one county we hunt, the peak rut isn't until January. Makes for a long wait!
Hope you are having a good season!
