We have to mark and ident. the area on maps then bring in the college students to start the dig. Reason for not coming right back with an answer. Whatever you/me or whoever uses has a marketing background Crazy, that's what pays the bills, not ours but theirs. Probably the one person we both know that has shot as much or more game animals over the years is Buck C., the reason I say that is he hunted for the state of PA after coming back from E. Asia as an animal control agent, didn't try and save them in the 60's, just got rid of the problems and he was good at his job. He would probably agree with you on most of what you said except for the soap that takes out the "brighteners" that regular soap adds when clothes are washed. I've seen him and several of his hunting friends crawl up close enough to have made meat with a hawk on antelope, granded they are not as leary as white tail, but still the animals never looked their way in the process of getting close. What I had mentioned was what I see when in the field checking hunters in our seasons here in PA, the bow hunters with some of the items mentioned seem to have the most success. Most animal urine will work, in E. Asia the VC could pick up our sense from our urine and other waste because of our diet - reason why special forces started eating the same thing they ate. As far as smoking, that's been an on going "do and don't" subject for decades, probably today more than ever before; maybe some parents use it as a "carrot" to keep the kids from smoking. .

Then most animals were not as trained to fear man and the things associated with them. Most of the animals in the Rockies had only been exposed to Indians and trappers. Indians live inside chimmneys (teepee), smoked their wearing apparell and smoked various forms of tobbacco. It would seem that their biggest obstacle was sight as they often used camaflage and animal hides to creep closer to animals. With buffalo jumps I do not think wind was a factor, they crept up and then drove the herd in the correct direction. If they had to wait for the right wind most of the jumps would not have gotten used. I do not believe that Indian and trapper were very concerned with their smell or tobacco use. The majority of period accounts and the supply lists indicate that tabbacco was a desired item. There are mixed accounts on body odor and bathing, as some complain about the odor of others and some do not. Obviosly some had more delicate noses (probably non-smokers and new comers) than others. And they probably bathed more often. Accounts also indicate that bathing was done before approaching known groups of people, like rendezvous, forts etc. Don't you think that when someone took the time to note how smelly their aquaintances were they would have further noted that the party was starving and that it was due to not getting close enough to animals to make meat. The thought probably never occured to them, which would mean it was not a problem.
