Mark Stukbauer lives in what is known by locals as the Ohio snow-belt. Despite this, the bucks grown big and as Mark says, "big deer are not foreign to me".  Mark has spent many years in the woods chasing whitetails as many of us have, but early on (also as many us have experienced) Mark's kill rate and buck encounter rate wasn't as great as he would have liked.  He questioned his skill and decided that scent must be the deciding factor that he was overlooking.  Mark turned to natural covers scents as an answer to his lack of success in the field. Once Mark started covering himself in local plant material such as goldenrod, apples,and acorns which he would grind up and use on the stand, Mark closed the gap he needed to kill big bucks. And, he says you can do it too.
