The mixture was 3:1:1 Vanilla/Sweet-Apple/Black-Cherry (60/40 mix), and my hardware was an AeroTank with 1.5 Ohm BDC on MVP 2.0 @ 9W.

Do deer have personalities?
Just like humans, each deer has its own personality. Some seem to be born more wary than others. I have spent a lot of time in the woods throughout my life and have encountered all kinds of deer.

But mostly, I’ve seen a lot of highly cautious deer that scent check the wind a lot, ready to exit stage left at the first sign of danger.

Most made it sound like you’d have to be a fool to smoke while hunting deer, especially whitetail deer.

Do deer have a sense of smell?
Just like dogs and humans, I am positive some deer have a keener sense of smell than others. It’s ridiculous to believe that every deer you encounter has the exact same traits; that just doesn’t make sense. That being said, a deer’s sense of smell is its biggest defense and asset. When a deer smells something foreign or a scent that does not belong in their environment, they will become hyper-aware of everything around them. Many times, they simply slip away even if they haven’t seen or heard anything to confirm their fear. Consequently, if they smell you and either see or hear you, the game is pretty much over.

All these things are done because they have been proven to work — not every time — but most of the time. And still, there are times when hunters think they are doing everything correctly and a deer (especially a mature deer) will bust them.

I would never smoke during bow season, but I'm going to try some experiments to see what they actually think of it. Sounds like new territory here
Can deer smell like dogs?
Like I said in my earlier post, deer can still smell anything, just like dogs can. A deer's nose is almost as sensitive as a dog, and dogs can smell dope easily, and track three day old scent trails. If one buys a de-scenting product, then gets into their car or truck, they will pick up what ever scent is in the vehicle. What ever one eats carries a scent. What ever one walks on carries a scent. The smell from your car's exhaust carries for miles, and also permeates clothing.
