Whitetail Deer HuntingGain a better understanding of the World's most popular big game animal and the techniques that will help you become a better deer hunter.
This fall I have a woods that I am hunting away from home. This woods is about 10 mintues away. With my woods at home I just leave my hunting clothes in the barn and get dressed there. How do I keep the scent that is in my truck off my hunting clothes when driveing to the woods?

I personally don't think a vehicle imparts much scent to hunting clothes especially on such a short drive. What little scent you pick up from the truck will quickly fade after you get out and begin hunting. If you think it is a concern, however, hang up an old sheet in the barn with your hunting clothes and drape it over the truck seat so you sit on the sheet rather than the seat. That would help some.
Though I do tend to agree with Frost's opinion I would suggest that you not get dressed until you are out of your vehicle at your hunting location. This would eliminate the possibility of scent getting into your clothes during the ride to your hunting area.
I'd also say that a 10 minute ride shouldn't leave that much scent on your clothes. Buy some scent shield and spray down liberally after you get out of the truck.
never been really concerned about scent that much but guess if you were you could alway sit on an old blanket in your truck that is heavy scented in pine or "doe pee"...would suggest the first as the second one smells mighty ripe!!

spray some scent killer on and hunt, Id be more worried about the smells that got on the clothes while getting dressed in the house than the smells of the vehicle
