I read in Bugle magazaine about how an elk hunter becomes a vegetarian a month or two before season. Reason being is for scent control. The theory is that since Elk's main predators are carnivores, the predators emmit a scent from the red meat they eat and the Elk can smell that. What say you - legit or junk science?

True true true. I am a red meat and potatoes farm boy and have decided to only do it when i get a trophy elk tag here in az. I did it 2 years ago. Changing to a vegan diet actually changes your hormone levels(this is why it can make you feel like you are dying) and the proteins in your sweat. When your gut digests red meet it produces more formic acid, sulfur dioxide, and many other compounds. When you compare this to a all vegan diet it is amazing how much less things are produced. (note methane is produced at a much higher rate with a vegan diet meaning you will have the loudest farts of your life but they wont smell as bad,,,,Usually) Honker about your first point i think it has to due with the fact that soap an water burns them like the wicked witch.
