Scent Detection - How Does it Work? Have you ever experienced sitting absolutely still in the woods when a nice buck
starts your way and suddenly he stops, sniffs the air, then stamps his feet and
the next thing you see is the white flag bounding at hyper speed in the opposite
direction? Alternatively, after miles of hiking and climbing, did you spy a
trophy bull elk and after crawling through the briars and bushes for what seemed
eternity, to see it simply disappear when you poked your head out of the scrub?

First Deer and All the Mistakes I Made I have been hunting with my boyfriend before and have watched him shoot a deer with a gun so I had a little bit of an idea of the feeling I would get when I went hunting on my own. Well at least that's what I thought anyway. I have been shooting a bow for a little over a year now, at first I was just using a friends bow to see if I even liked shooting one.
