nope won't hurt a thing with texas being as crowded as it is now days all these critters are used to human and canine smells on a daily bases . i used to laugh at the proffesional trappers [ hog ] talking about scent around the traps blah blah blahh . hell when we would go set the traps we had dogs and humans all over the place taking a wee wee around the traps dogs going on the corn pile . never had the hogs or the deer or the yotes , coons anything shy away from it .
X's 2, my lab (rip) went everywhere with me, hell she would even sit in the deer blind with me quite a bit, it never affected me seein deer one bit.
I've got a funny pic somewhere, im holding a lit cigarrette in the openin of a popup window and you can see the deer behing the cigarrette lol. I think the whole "scent elimination" gimmick is a marketing scheme.....and a damn good one at that!!!.....wish I woulda thought about it first lol.
