Which Scent Elimination Sprays do you use and why?

james/d · 09-03-2008, 09:14 AM

I am looking for some info on all the different products out there. I have used Hunter's Specialties in the past, currently I am using Scent Killer products. I know Scent Shield has been around for a while, but a close friend mentioned to me the other day that he uses Dead Down Wind ranging from body soaps, field wash cloths, laundry soap and field sprays.
1) What do you use?
2) If you use Dead Down Wind, do you like their products?

I used HS Scent Away last year, This year I think Im going to try Primos products... no reason really, just something new.

I have always used the hs scent away products but whenI was working the hunters extravaganza the guys at the Primo's booth were doing a test with their new stuff, they took two cups and put in some cotton balls then put in some doe pee and sprayed in the cup with their spray and then with the HS spray and when I smelled bothcups Icouldn't smell the doe pee in theirs but I could in the other.I will buy some primo's spray and try it at the house myself, even though I watched them do it, and go from there. If I get the same results at home as they did at the show,I will be using their silver xp.

I use any of the name brands, but I did buy 10 bottles (32oz. spray bottles ) of DEAD DOWNWIND from Cableas a few months ago, they had them on sale for under $4.00 per bottle

Scent Killer. Seems to work very well, but I've never tried anything else. I did see the Primos stuff advertised in this month's Bowhunting mag, I may give it a try when this runs out.

I use Silver xp. Why, because it works.

i normaly get the H.S line of products for scent killer but i would not think twice of using dead down wind the primos stuff or any name brand.
I had a spot on my floor where my puppie peed it had a smell to it if you got down on the floor i sprayed some scent away on it and it is gone.

Proper preparation and maintenance of ones hunting clothes has very worked for many years. Did something change that we now need to buy sprays?

Longbows and Recurves have worked very well for many, many years. Do we need to use Compound bows?
