One of the most important pieces of archery equipment is
actually personal hygine. Scentlock clothes and UV scent free detergents are not
enough to fool a bear, Bull Elk or Trophy Bucks. What to do before archery opening day.
Most archery hunters, seasoned and new have read the
articles, have seen the TV commercials on OLN about scent control and how
important it is to the archery hunter. All the technology we have today still
cannot change the warm humid weather of a Georgia swamp, the pines in Alabama, a
Florida Oak Hammock in late September. No different if you are hunting Rocky
Mountain Elk, weather can, has and always will change. If you are human you will
sweat.
However, there are a few simple things that you an archery
hunter can change to improve your chances to bag that trophy. It does not matter
how expensive your archery equipment is, or whether you use your chosen cover scents
properly. Remember, this technology is after all man made from soap to scentlock fabric.
You the
hunter need to focus on your natural body chemistry. A week before opening day
watch what you eat. Don’t eat foods high in garlic, onions, fat. Stay away from
spicy foods like, Mexican, hot peppers, and oily foods. These foods increase
body temperature. When you're sweat becomes air born it carries your scent and
give you away to anything with an olfactory organ. So try to eat foods that are
more natural with fewer spices. Don’t worry its not forever. Believe me you will
live. Try to maintain your diet throughout archery season. Good luck.
