When you talk to the most successful deer hunters, most agree that controlling human odor is the primary factor determining success. Simply put, you can do everything else right but if you are lackadaisical with scent control you are dramatically hurting your odds.

In this episode, Sam Burgeson, President of Wildlife Research Center, joins us to talk scent control and how his company has approached helping hunters in that aspect of their hunting over the years. He shares what he believes are the minimum steps necessary to improve your odds, but cautions there is no 100% bulletproof solution. He also talks about the use of attractant scents, and how the Responsible Hunting Scent Association is helping to improve safety of urine-based products to lessen the likelihood of disease spread.
