Moll. 1,770 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Just something i've been pondering over. What would be the most alarming scent to an animal, the smell of human sweat or the perfume smell of deoderant? I would have thought that perhaps animals would recognise human sweat as something dangerous, perhaps an inbuilt warning from thousands of years of being hunted? And that a perfume smell would definitely be noticed but not thought of as a danger? Quote Link to post
Millet 4,497 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Me think's either smell will set alarm bell's rining for a prey species..if you rub yourself in pine sap and go on land where they is no pine im sure the quarry would be warey.. Quote Link to post

brambles 3,269 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Worked with a fella once who said he shot alot of foxes, said he used to carry an open can of tuna in his pocket to disguise his scent I nearly p*ssed myself, think he was abit of a loon. Quote Link to post
