The nose of a whitetail deer has up to 297 million olfactory receptors, dogs have 220 million with humans limiting out with just five million.
A dog can smell a fingerprint left 7 days earlier, detect items buried deep underground, detect levels of just a few parts per million. Deer have a better sense of smell than dogs.
Draw your own conclusions on cover scents![]()
I know for a fact deer are attracted to the smell of left handed cigarettes. Or so I was told...![]()
Ric, that same weekend I mentioned earlier, I asked Sean to hold my Swisher Sweet (cherry) so I could shoot a doe. He held that cigar, and a handycam at the same time. Jesse and Joe may have seen that video back in the day. hehe. Wind was blowing right to her, and I swear throughout the evening when deer would come into the plot I'd put out the cigar. When they were all gone, I'd re-light. I think the dang things were coming in out of curiosity cause more would show up every time I lit the dang thing!
Lol from what I've heard they like the taste too
HA. Yep. Heard from a buddy's cousin's sister's boyfriend's third cousin's friend that a guy here in town had most of his crop mowed down by deer. Even has trail cam pics of them in there...
