Anyone ever used walnuts as a cover scent? If so please explain how you use them. Thought about putting pile by where I walk into my hunting spot. I have alot on the ground ready to use. Maybe?? Thanks

I was hunting near some walnut trees years ago, so put a couple in a tote with my clothes and would grind my boots into them on my way by. I enjoyed the smell, reminded me of dying traps, but I don't think the deer did because I don't ever remember seeing a deer there after that. Lol
My back yard is covered in walnuts right now. I chopped them up with the mower yesterday and a lot have fallen since then.

Just because the deer smell walnuts why do you think that cant smell you also?

I always walk on them if there are some around where I'm hunting. Also horse droppings on the trails in the parks I hunt.

There is no such thing as "cover" scent.

Every now and then I put some spruce or golden rod flowers in a damp pillow case, tie it off, and throw it in the dryer with my hunting clothes for 20 minutes. It works awesome. If using walnut I would use the driest I could find, to avoid divorce!

lie down in the dry dirt & grass & bushes & roll over a few times in it. brush yourself off & go hunt, you smell like the woods. I doubt if anything much helps except for playing the wind right & being a little bit LUCKY.

No such thing as cover scent. Deer can smell right through it. Hunt the wind

I dont buy into any of that. And never worried about wind either. If a deer spooks, its more likely they saw you move. I have a stand 10ft up. It was a little windy the other day off and on. Leaves were falling all around. Its a little warm and I`m using face paint, I think it works great.
I had 2 small deer in frt of me, I didnt pick up my bow, the smallest one looked right at me, but then gave up and a big doe that worked all 3 sides around me and behind and ended up in frt of me. Bow in hand, ready to shoot, I passed on a good 15 yard shot at that gal.
It was in the evening, I`m sure I smelled like tobacco, peanut butter and bbq potato chips and some cookies I had for lunch. It didnt stop me from having a couple chances on that hunt.
When I was younger someone told me just wash your clothes so they dont stink. I do that before bow season with scent free laundry soap for my outer clothes, and keep my under clothes washed after I use them.
I`m still on the fence with attractant scents, Ive tried them off and on over the last 40 years, I think deer are curious about smells, but I cant say it ever got me a deer, if anything maybe kept them away. So thats my take on it.

Back when I was all into scent control and cover scents, I used to spray the bottoms of my rubber boots with coon urine or fox urine on occasion. One afternoon I sprayed coon urine on them about 100 yards from my hunting spot, then walked down a dry creek bed on the cobbly rocks, thinking no deer would walk down through there, and climbed a tree with my climber stand. An hour or two later a buck followed my trail down that dry stoney creek bed with his nose in my foot steps and I shot him. I didn't want tracked, so I never used animal urine on my boots again.

Try gargling with Doe-In Heat urine. But just make sure your aim is very accurate....and FAST!!! ;-)

Cover scents are for the inexperienced hunter.
