What the Heck is Nose Jammer?

I’ve been hunting deer since I was 13 years old, and that adds up to more decades than I might want to admit. And I’ve seen a passel of hunting products come and go, but somehow I’d managed to miss out on Nose Jammer until now.

It’s a product that they claim, “Jams big game animal’s ability to smell,” and it does so by overloading the critter’s nose with strong odors that are not alarming to it.

What is Nose Jammer?

Nose Jammer contains Vanillin and other natural aromatic compounds that have the ability to effectively jam an animal’s sense of smell. The compounds used in Nose Jammer are not alarming to game animals because they are found in lignin, a major support structure for all trees, grasses, and shrubs. The key is taking these prolific compounds game animals are conditioned to and delivering them at concentrated levels to overload the olfactory gland found in an animal’s nose.

Jamming the Sense of Smell

In the nose, once a molecule has triggered a response, it must be disposed of and this takes time. If a molecule comes along too quickly, there is no place for it on the olfactory hairs, so it cannot be perceived. Olfactory Fatigue is the temporary, normal inability to distinguish a particular odor after a prolonged exposure to that airborne compound. For example, when entering a restaurant initially the odor of food is often perceived as being very strong, but after time the awareness of the odor normally fades to the point where the smell is not perceptible or is much weaker.

Just like an overly bright light can wash out a photographic image, Nose Jammer overwhelms the olfactory system and overpowers an animal’s ability to detect and track human scent.

According to one 2014 review, Nose Jammer makes you smell like vanilla (no surprise, since the key ingredient is vanillin). The whitetail hunter who wrote the review became a believer in short order, when a mature buck sauntered towards his stand along the same trail the hunter had used, and never showed any sign of alarm.

Please note, the following information reflects the estimated average ballistics for each caliber and does not pertain to a particular manufacturer, bullet weight, or jacketing type. As such, the following is for comparative information purposes only and should not be used to make precise predictions of the trajectory, performance, or true ballistics of any particular .30-06 Springfield or 7.62x39mm rounds for hunting, target shooting, plinking, or any other usage. The decision for which round is better for a given application should be made with complete information, and this article simply serves as a comparative guide, not the final say. For more detailed ballistics information please refer to the exact round in question or contact the manufacturer for the pertinent information. True .30-06 Springfield and 7.62x39mm ballistics information can vary widely from the displayed information, and it is important to understand that the particular characteristics of a given round can make a substantive difference in its true performance. Caliber Type Velocity (fps) Energy (ft-lb) .30-06 Springfield Rifle 2820 2920 7.62x39mm Rifle 2360 1590 [Click Here to Shop .30-06 Springfield Ammo] [Click Here to Shop 7.62x39mm Ammo] VelocityAs illustrated in the chart, .30-06 Springfield rounds - on average - achieve a velocity of about 2820 feet per second (fps) while 7.62x39mm rounds travel at a velocity of 2360 fps. To put this into perspective, a Boeing 737 commercial airliner travels at a cruising speed of 600 mph, or 880 fps. That is to say, .30-06 Springfield bullets travel 3.2 times the speed of a 737 airplane at cruising speed, while 7.62x39mm bullets travel 2.7 times that same speed.Various calibersEnergyFurthermore, the muzzle energy of a .30-06 Springfield round averages out to 2920 ft-lb, while a 7.62x39mm round averages out to about 1590 ft-lb. One way to think about this is as such: a foot-pound is a unit of energy equal to the amount of energy required to raise a weight of one pound a distance of one foot. So a .30-06 Springfield round exits the barrel with kinetic energy equal to the energy required for linear vertical displacement of 2920 pounds through a one foot distance, while a 7.62x39mm round exiting the barrel has energy equal to the amount required to displace 1590 pounds over the same one foot distance. As a rule of thumb, when it comes to hunting, muzzle energy is what many hunters look at when deciding on what caliber of firearm / ammunition to select. Generally speaking, the higher the muzzle energy, the higher the stopping power. Again, the above is for comparative information purposes only, and you should consult the exact ballistics for the particular .30-06 Springfield or 7.62x39mm cartridge you're looking at purchasing.

It makes sense that vanilla extract would have a similar effect, and hunting forums contain numerous tales of vanilla extract acting as an attractant. That’s not what Nose Jammer is advertised to do, but who’s to complain if a cover scent can also attract deer?

Use caution in bear country, though. Bears have better smellers than deer and are likely to follow the scent right to you. And I’ve seen at least one hunter warn that in hot weather, it attracts yellowjackets.

Back to Nose Jammer. The product has been around for several years now, and that usually doesn’t happen with things that don’t work. But the practical and economical guy in me wants to maybe try vanilla extract first.

What do you think? Ever tried Nose Jammer and/or vanilla extract? I’d love to hear from other hunters on this.
