The scent of your gun

[kribbz]

I usually clean my gun, put it back into the case and then throw two white oak acorn wafers into the case.

Well said Shaman! Two years ago I had been mowing and all the other stuff we do Sunday afternoons around the yard. My best friend asked me to come out and sit on a food plot while he hunted a different one just to see what was around. I don't bow hunt any more, too many physical problems. When I got there he asked me to join him in the stand, first he had to shower and get all his scent free clothes on, I didn't have the heart to tell him what I had been doing. He hadn't shot a bow deer in ten years, waiting for the BIG one. You guessed it, we are both in the stand together and here comes a 150 class ten point, I videoed the whole thing, arrow in flight the works! Better yet it was my first attempt at videoing! Bad smells and all it was a great hunt, and we have it on film to prove it!
