shovel leaner 7,648 Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 My Mrs is a cleaning nut . I reckon if I sat still long enough, I’d get shoved in the washing machine. I’ve got coats that I avoid washing but it’s nothing to do with scent , it’s just I find the more you wash a new coat it loses it’s waterproof qualities. I had wax coats that never got washed ...ever . As long as the winds not on your neck , I’m sure it doesn’t make much difference . I can’t stand the smell of fox on my hands and have taken to wearing latex gloves when I pick them up . A well known member of THL came foxing with me one night and was horrified when I put gloves on to pick a fox up . He said he loves the smell , and wipes his stinking fox smelling hands on his pillow before he goes to sleep , so he can dream of the moment you break through on a dig and that fox smell hits you and you know it’s Charlie . 3 3 Quote Link to post

I really don’t want to shoot it bad enough to have to smell like it I’d never be allowed back in the house Quote Link to post

Exactly nothing but an old wives tale. How could you possibly know it gives you more time ? I've had foxes and roe staring you out and still given you time to get rifle off shoulder and shoot them.

I'm not pushing for a law on it. Honest. Smell of what you wish. Quote Link to post

It looks like that ruined 243 has dropped out of a high seat and mullered that fox walking underneath. Quote Link to post

I know where you are coming from , the ground I do most of my shooting is in the head of a valley and the wind can change in an instant, it can be like a vortex. And it’s always when the wind is on your neck that they tend to show themselves and then wind you . I avoid any strong soap or deodorant if I’m going shooting, but I’m not hardcore enough to go all sausage dog . It might well give you a second or two . The yanks have all this scent masking spray and they reckon it works . Quote Link to post

Stavross 13,912 Posted July 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Nothing to do with any of this nonsense but I thought I’d put a picture up from where I’ve been working today, this is the bottom of his garden, river tees at the Yarm viaduct. And he has no interest in fishing, places like this are wasted on people like that 1 Quote Link to post

I would never sleep everytime it rained hard. 1 3 Quote Link to post
