That picture is so bad ass, even Joe Dirt would be impressed. I gotta try the tonneau cover method!

PS - I do know how to do it, but I often only quote part of the OP....that was I can misquote and take things out of context easier. And frequently.
While I'm steering this thread off course, can someone make a smoker smilie?
--
BTW, Gern, have you factored getting lessickle: because of the smoker?
Then quote it normally but remove the unwanted text. Doing it the other way removes not only who said it but also the redirect to that post.. It's like you're quoting nobody... Don't make me take the

I havent spent a dime. I take the daily cardboard and paper trash out before i get ready and set it afire in the pit. throw a few good hardwood sticks on it and go get ready. By the time im heading out to my truck its all down and smokey. I just stand there in the downwind holding all my gear...the neighbors must think I'm nutz...BTW THANKS GUYS for the advise!! That buck last night never worried about me a bit and he came from downwind at less than 15 when he stopped to check out the apples lol! I'm Sold on it.

I kill two birds with one stone...I set up my blind and hang my clothes from the ceiling supports and smoke the hell out of the inside ! I just think it has a better chance of covering every inch of your clothes inside and out.....plus now my blind has a cover scent!
I have a buddy who does the same.... He was a little slow getting a smoker but after my results with deer up close and persoal he broke down and got one.... Offered too let him use mine he said hell with it I'll just buy my own rotflmao

He refuses to believe smoking works and still swears by skink scent. I'm not saying skunk doesn't work, but we have debates about this all the time.
For the record, I was in bed!

Holy shit! Stop the fuggin' presses!!! I think the world just stopped spinning for a brief moment in time! lmao
Welcome to the dark side Chad! Take note fellow smokers, if we can sell The Gernmiester on the smoker, we could sell one to the CEO of Scent Lok! LOL!!! I hope you have great success with it buddy. Joe and I talked today and I honestly consider the smoker the No. 1 tactic I employ. Not that my track record means much, but I spend hours upon hours in the woods and my success with it is well documented. I'll be anxiously waiting for some stories!!!

All right I have seen how everyone loves this smoker. Now the question is how much and do I get it at a store or order on line?

I've never had a huge problem with scent control in the past, but I am going to hunt hill country very soon and I know how the wind can swirl and you have to deal with thermals.......I might also be going to the UP in a month and the deer up there have twice the senses that these Ohio deer do.....the real test will be in the UP. The good thing is everybody up there burns wood, so it should work like a dream.
The two bucks and doe I had in front of me last night were downwind for probably 20min. Don't get me wrong, they stopped and threw their noses in the air a couple times. However, after a couple checks, they went back to their business and hung out down wind of me.
I think the biggest factor is not getting picked off for movement. If your local deer herd starts to equate the smoke smell to hunters, then you are not going to see much activity and you might as well spray down and continue to play the wind because your scent smoker will become a neon sign over your head.

Your thought process here is spot on. When hunting the hills, you might as well throw the whole "playing the wind" scheme out the window. Swirling winds and thermal currents make it virtually impossible to play the wind effectively, IMO. In all honesty, since making my own move to the "dark side," I don't really worry about playing the wind anywhere that I hunt.
