Getting all the gear out and deciding just how much to carry afield for tomorrow’s opener of archery season brings out the tinkerer in me. New batteries in every gizmo, pulling out the broadheads that remain unblemished from last season – it’s all part of getting ready.
Wind indicators in the form of milkweed floss containe in its original wrapper held intact with a rubber band. Way cool!
But the wild deer “P” having been collected from the local whitetail population in Shiawassee County has to be the ultimate cover scent. And, this year a new ball-type dispenser will be tested in concert with the natural cover scent. Using it when setting out a deer decoy is a great way to mask one’s scent but it also adds aroma to the ruse if sprinkled near it (but not on it!).
Oh, you say ol’ Glen’s lost his mind with this nonsense about collecting wild deer “P” but that’s just what has been done. How? I’ll get to that in a future post, and hopefully by next season, there will be enough for everyone that wants to try it.
