Default RE: Hunting Deer Scent and Human Scent !

I wash all my stuff in baking soda,double rinse and drip dry outside. I go out and cut some small cedar branches and put in large construction bag (El Cheapo natural scent). That's where all my outer garments stay after the hunt. I might freshin up the cedar 1/2 way thru season.

Last year I lined 2 deer stands with cedar branches. A great natural cover for hunter movement and you could smell the cedar as you approached stand (El Cheapo scent control). I saw more bucks outa of a 12' tower stand lined with cedar than any other on farm!!

I almost always carry some apples in pocket(only McIntosh,great scent). Before I walk to stand I lay 1-2 on ground and smash,rub into boots. The remainder I cut in 1/2 rub on tree bark,spike on branch,or toss on ground. I've had many deer and every other critter in woods follow apple scent to stand.

As far as soap I use Ivory(El Cheapo) or on rare occasion buy the bottled soap stuff.

The money I save I spend on other stupid hunting toys
