Until I stopped hunting several years ago I would always step in deer droppings not only to mask my scent, but to smell like a deer, to the deer.Tod1d wrote:Why not (walk in it IRL?). It can help cover up any human or synthetic scent you might have on your boots.
It was also normal 'round these parts to rub some dried umm, poo on clothing. You wouldn't believe what some people did back in the day to blend in when hunting.
I normally just rubbed some dirt on to smell more like the ground I was sitting on and of course stepped in deer droppings on the way to my stand whenever I could. But yea, poo stepping is a real thing.
In game it's a bit freaky at first to crawl up to and through a pile of bear scat but I stopped giving it a second thought a long time ago.
