Are deer adverse to the smell of burlap?
I recently bought some camo burlap to carry with me in case I decide to make an impromptu ground stand/blind. I have washed it in scent eliminator and hung it outside (even in the rain) and it still has the "burlap" smell.
I know burlap is made of plants, so the scent should be natural, BUT I don't know how the deer would respond to it. The smell is not too dissimilar to the smell of the huge round haybales that I would use as ground blinds when I was living in PA.
Does anyone have any firsthand experience with deer and burlap or speculation to share?
