Default De-scenting equipment

Is it very critical to spray down your bow before each hunt?

I don't, I dunno it doesnt hurt but I would't say critical. I have wiped down the handle with scent free wipes. But certainly not every time out.

I never spray my bow down. Ill try and spray down my pack and clothes before each trip in, but not my bow.

If you don't want to spray it down, you can always get the scent elimination wipes and wipe it down. Probably a little easier and less messy
