RE: To Make Your Gun Scentless And Invisible
WOW........ now thats really anal. In my opinion unneccisary I have always used rem oil or Hoppes #9 gun oil on my guns and have never had any reason to blame the scent of my rifles oil on not letting me have a sucessful hunt.

I hate to pop your bubble JB ,
but you're talking about a critter that can smell 6 different things at once and assign a threat level to each in a split second . Scent free to you and me is stinky to them . At best you're reducing your overall odor signature , which is pretty much all you can do anyway . Guns would definitely smell threatening to a second year whitetail , so it's probably not a bad idea for them to think that you're farther away than you really are .

I know my gun smells particularly threatening to whitetails--ha ha. and you wouldn't want to make your gun invisible--how would you find it after you took a piss?

Yes, deer have a very keen sense of smell, the best thing that you can do is watch the wind direction. In my experience, most of these scent killer products are highly over rated, and definatly over priced!
Good hygiene, and plain old baking soda, works great! As far as guns stinking, yeah if the deer is within 3 feet of it, they can probably smell it, but gun odors do not spread like other human, and chemical odors do!

You might be right.
But from what I read it has less scent than water.
If you look soon you may still be able to find it at Wally World ,
I just saw some there . Apparently I'm not the only one who thinks it's a scam , the clearance aisle was packed with them .
