[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5503992, member: 20583"] Their sense of smell is so accute they can tell the difference between blown in odor and residual odor left from physical contact. Wind blown odor has so many parts per million of your scent that will attach to literally every surface, losing potency as the distance expands. They smell you on everything, mostly the air, and it's strongest near you. They seem to know when you're close enough to pose danger. Contrarily, odor left from contact such as brushing against weeds or getting snagged by briars will be concentrated. And that odor seems to take much longer to dissipate. Somehow they seem to know how old it is. In my experience each deer is an individual. Some have a lower threshold of stink that spooks them, while others don't even seem to notice. It's an entire spectrum. I've often watched what sure seemed to be does teaching their fawns how to react to my scent, and then the fawns practicing/mimicking what momma just taught them. I'm convinced there's no tricking a deer's nose. Just try to be clean and hope the wind works for you. [/QUOTE]
