Boredom must have really set in for me, as you can see from the following experiment.
I wanted to see just how well all these "scent killer" sprays on the market work. I obtained a botle each of HS scents brand, Hunters specialties, and the home recipe posted here a while back. I then thoroughly doused a couple of pheasant wings with the respective sprays, let them sit for about ten minutes, handled them with a pair of tongs, and hid them in the grass. I then sent my pointer out to find a "chicken". He located each wing without hesitation. My reasoning is that if the dog can still smell the "covered/absorbed" scent, so can a deer or elk. I will be picking up a bottle of the carbon blast spray and trying it as well, just as soon as the store has some in stock. Does any body have any other suggestions of other brands to try? Any ideas that will fool the dogs nose? I wish they had a scent blocker handkercheif I could try wrapping a wing in.
Thanks
