Only if you don't want your dog to smell a skunk.

I have never heard of that but I do know that you can put vicks on a female that is in heat and it will block the scent so you can hunt her with males and they will leave her alone.

Not only will it NOT help, Im pretty sure it will keep him from smelling even his own arse in the woods.

Its a big myth, and the only thing it will do is irritate the dogs nose, and as far as putting it on females, thats a big myth also. It will only irritate their rear.
I do however think it works a little with the stud horses.

I don't know about a hunting dog but I'll tell you this, it sure magnifies my sense of smell. I found out the hard way. Long story short, in the police academy a former paramedic told us it would cover the stench of the autopsy room. Lying, prankin son of a gun!!! All it did was make even the strongest of stomachs sick. It made me smell a lot more than I could imagine.  |

My guess is that it won't help. Best thing to do is work on getting a colder nosed dog.

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...

It opens up your sinuses somethin fierce... I dont think i would do it to my dog though.. |

X2 on that on the other hand we used a cream we had, cant rem the name its been to long but it smelled like icy hot and used it on our dogs, goats, horses and kept them from sniffin and i got the ol icy hot trick when i was promoted to specialist in the army, they held me down and put it on the "region" and told me to handle the heat |
