    earth, cause i never think you ever 100% eliminate your scent, so i at least try and cover it best i can for as long as i can.

    IMO those wafers and "earth cover scents" smell like absolutely nothing I've ever smelled in the woods in my life. Seems to me that a deer that suddenly comes across that smell in the woods would be put on alert. I try to smell like nothing rather than smell like something that isn't in the rest of the woods.

    I take it to mean the masking scents. The oderless stuff is usually scent killer not a cover scent.
