Well, he told you wrong, lol. It is a known myth that I have seen for myself to be false. I speak only from experience, where I come from white tails are so thick they are considered a nuisance. Defintly never a good idea to touch wild animals though, that was sound advice.
Also, babies have a scent. It is there camo that protects them, not a magic power of having no odor.
It feels slightly heavier than most titanium throws, but I don’t find it uncomfortably so. It’s pretty rad. RSO nailed the old school feel, and part of that is the due to the extra weight.
