i do many of the things you listed,even the watch just for hunting but i don't shower with it on.huntin close are washed in scent free soap and then bagged with baking soda for the whole season,except when hunting.for gun season i'm not as critacal but play the wind as much as possible.one thing i do that you didn't list is on warm days i shower with baking soda.this almost elimanates sweting,no swet means no stink.i use scent ellimanating spray religously(scent shield)i also bring apple wedges(in a bag)to the woods.the old saying"an apple a day keeps the dentist away"it also keeps mouth oders to a minamum.apples contain a chemical that nutralize mouth oders.am i a scent nut??i guess i am.the closest i have been to deer is also inches,i am a ground stand fanatic.my closest buck kill was 2 feet(i was on one side of the tree he was on the other side),a small 6 point.i paced 8 feet to my arrow after it went thru the buck.last year i pushed a yearling off his feet,that deer was under a foot away(just about ran into me) and i couldn't resist.that poor thing about had a heart attack.wish i had the video going for that.
