Summary

Tom Brownley is a nationally renowned former Canine instructor and adjunct professor of anthrozoology - and someone who has spent his life professionally learning about scent, how it travels across the landscape, how it dissipates, how long it lasts, how it escapes enclosed areas and so much more. This week we have a really in depth and fascinating discussion on all things scent and how it relates to us as deer hunters, including whether we can cover, mask or eliminate our scent, how long our scent really lasts, the truth about ground scent, the little things you do that can leave scent in an area for TWO MONTHS, how wind moves scent and at what rate, the dissipation of scent in cover and much much more!
