RE: Help on Scent elimination
I don't believe there is such a thing as scent elimination. From everything I have read, and from personal experience, I believe that scent reduction is the best you can hope for. I too am fanatical about scent control. In addition to what everybody else has said, I also use the body and hair deoderant from Robinson Labs. Since I hunt in the Big Cypress Preserve in South Florida mostly, I also use a Bug Tamer Plus with scent control. Problem is, the archery only WMA where I go is walk in only. Way down here, there is no way to avoid sweating some walking to my stand location which is usually between 1/4 and 1/2 mile from the access road. Doesn't matter what time of year it is, its usually warm at least.
I have noticed that climbing higher up in the tree helps some because the thermals tend to keep the scent up in the air longer. If I can keep from leaving a lot of my smell on the ground, I have a pretty good chance of avoiding detection. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it), I have to walk through a lot of mid-calf high water walking in, which tends to wash off any residual scent from my snake boots. BTW I keep those boots in a plastic container with a scent wafer in it, and don't put them onuntil I am ready towalk into the swamp.
