Cover Scents


Law Firm

Recommended Posts

Basically everyone uses some type of cover scent, especially for bow hunting. Just wanted to see what everyone's opinions were. Personally, I used Scent Killer for years and about two years ago I switched over to Carbon Blast. In my opinion, this is the way to go for a universal cover scent. I can't say anything bad about Scent Killer, but I have seen more deer, and closer, with Carbon Blast.

Wal-mart had a big sale on scent killer I bought around 64oz of the stuff much less than 1/2 price to. I love scent killer. I also use fox urine. where ever there is fox there are deer.

I have used Scent Killer-Autumn Formula exclusively for the past seven years with great success. However, next year I am going to try mixing my own scent elimination spray. If it works it will save huge money, about $4/gallon is about what it will cost!

Scent Killer on all the clothes and equipment and H.S. Scent wafers in earth scent pinned on my hat or jacket, adds a little cover scent on top of the scent killer. Seems to do the trick for me anyway.

I use carbon blast on my boots, scent killer on my jacket/pants/packs and equipment. I just don't like the black gunk that carbon blast leaves on your equipment or clothes. For the boots I don't care so much. For a cover scent if I use any it's usually fox on the boots.

I generally use Scent Killer. I've gotten bad & forget a lot though, if the winds right for my spots it usually doesn't matter, but I hunt a lot of field edges that are more predictable. I rarely use cover scent, but if I do I use coon urine.

The neighbor and myself mixed up a big batch of the home made stuff.

Seemed to be just fine.

Hard to say exactly how good it is though. I cant complain.

I use the sccent killer. I also use coon urine as a cover scent. Usually its a pretty safe bet.

I put the Scent Waffers in my bag and let my clothing soak up those scents. I also go with a fox urine that I spray on my boots before I walk into the woods.

I have yet to be winded by a deer!

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯

      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
