Food grade mineral oil has very little to no odor.
The Buck could have been spooked by something else also. Or possibly your breath was scented by him depending on the wind. I am always more concerned with my breath getting me busted more than anything else I may have.I missed a buck of a life time as he scented me from a very long distance. I did not put any scent on me so I wondered where it came from.
A close buddy was hunting 1/4 mile from me on a hill top and watched the deer scent me. He had no shot and the buck was long gone by the time I got to where I had seem him before but always wondered how a buck can scent me with no scent products on me.
I am positive it was not a fart as I had not eaten yet.
Now I think it was some smell that alarmed him. Possibly a solvent smell as I had to fine tune a load for the 30-06 as no one had Partitions so I changed bullets and had to zero that new load 3 weeks before season opened. Still have that that Ruger 77 tang safety rifle.
I am testing the product from Walmart "Scent A Way"
Thanks for that! That may be the problem, more than solvents!The Buck could have been spooked by something else also. Or possibly your breath was scented by him depending on the wind. I am always more concerned with my breath getting me busted more than anything else I may have.
