    What am I doing wrong?

    I wash my clothes in scent free wash
    Keep them in a tote with a pine wafer
    Shower in scent free stuff before the hunt
    Park a long ways away
    Spray down in scent killer
    Am very quiet when I come in
    But yet they still know when I'm here.. Just had 6 doe come in and were all real shady didn't hang out very long before leaving, on camera they stay until every last kernel is gone. So what am I doing wrong? I can't figure it out.

        It's their home, they know when something is not right.

            I hunt a place near where you live and the deer are super smart. They will many times walk all around the feeder area maybe 50-60yds out to bust you. If you are bowhunting you just cant win. No matter how well you wash etc you still have a smell, it is just weaker. The deer here spook with even the slightest hint of your odor including your boots walking in. Toughest deer/pig hunting I have ever seen.

              Do you hunt where there are pine trees?

                  One thing to consider is your breath. I use the dead down wind breath spray. Try using deer calm as well.

                    Unfortunately We have the same issue. What has really made a BIG difference is getting in the stand really early. Our feeders go off at 6:30 or so. Im usually in the stand by 5:15. It sucks but, it really does help. Try not driving all over the ranch before you hunt. Hope that helps.

                      Get you a bottle of doe pee and gargle it just before you walk to the stand and you should be good....

                          I see you mentioned nothing about your boots. Hopefully you're not wearing your work boots out there.

                          I mention this because I knew a guy that worn his oily work boots bow hunting and couldn't figure out why he kept getting busted.

                            Smoke your clothes, use tinks #10 skunk as a cover scent, eat some roasted peanuts before you hunt, optionally use franks deer urine where you want to shoot them and maybe some evercalm down wind of you.
