Deer scents in real cold Canadian weather?
« on: March 21, 2009, 04:17:33 AM »
I have seen deer scents freeze and be very ineffective in Canada during the rut.  Has anyone come up with a way to heat it ?  Is a hand warmer packet enough heat to keep it in the wind?  Just a thought.  Thanks  Buckfever

Buckfever1, do you mean cover scents or attractant scents?

I havent tried them, but would one of those thermacells work? Soak the pad in scent and use the heater to disperse the scent?

  I almost think I would just use it as is. Natural doe urine freezes in the wild as should the attractant urine. But even when frozen it would still give off a scent. Not as strong, maybe, but a deer's nose is MUCH more sensitive than ours. I think if you artifically warmed the scent it would seem suspicious to a deer, because it is not "natural".  For instance, most humans can't smell raw, hard corn unless their nose was about touching it. Yet a deer can smell it for over a mile away.
