hvyhitter hit the nail on the head! I use rubber boots and have great luck with them, but they never get worn inside the truck or garage or anywhere except the woods. I store them in plastic bags and put them on when I get to my hunting spot. They even stay in the bag all summer. I've had several deer this season cross my path and none of them picked up any scent at all! Believe me, after 20 + years of deer hunting I've learned my lessons! PROTECT YOUR BOOTS FROM ANY FOREIGN SCENT!
