The Importance of Scent Control for Deer Hunting With Sam Burgeson of Wildlife Research Center

October 19, 2022 By: NDA Staff

Regardless of whether or not you have the best gear on the market and are hunting the best properties and the best spots, none of that will matter if you’re not adequately controlling human odors. In fact, most hunters who consistently tag mature bucks will tell you that their number one tactic is hunting with the wind in their face while taking care to hide their presence by limiting human scent.

Sam Burgeson is the president of Wildlife Research Center, the most well-known hunting scent and human scent control products company in the country, and he joins Nick and The Doctor to discuss the importance of scent control in the deer woods. The guys also talk about their favorite techniques for fooling a deer’s sense of smell. In addition, Sam shares stories from the origin of Wildlife Research Center, a company that truly started in his father’s garage with nothing but a few ideas from his dad and uncle.

In this week’s B-Team report, The Doctor shares the story of how he “lost” his trail camera and Nick explains why his brand-new Redneck Ghillie Blind has a hole in it already. This might be the best B-Team story yet! Remember to please send us your hunting photos as well as your B-Team stories and Ask NDA Anything questions. The next show will be an Ask NDA Anything episode so your questions are due now. You can send them to nick@deerassociation.com.
