JACK Report post Posted July 3, 2014 I agree its all about the wind...but apparently there is something about hardwood smoke that kills human scent and the smoke smell doesn't bother animals...not sure if smelling like a campfire is good or not...just wondering if anyone has experiences with doing it intentionally Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted July 3, 2014 I'd rather be scent free but in my experience I pay more attention to the wind direction and where I walk to keep the sound down but in this terrain that is always a challenge especially by mid morning when the dew dissipates and the ground becomes more noisey. In the open terrain voices can carry 700 yards with no problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
