Default RE: anyone knwo how to minimize human scent?

Absolutely. After washing your clothes (underwear and socks too) in scent free soap air dry them in the backyard. Store them in scent free bags. Never wear your hunting boots except on the ground you hunt on. Step in "things" on your hunting ground, cow patties, leaves, puddles etc. Shower in scent free soap then dress in your hunting clothes after you exit your truck. Finally right before you walk to your stand sprinkle Mexican vanilla on your hands and run them through your hair and on your clothing. Dab a little on your gunstock and nothing will smell you. Nothing.

I've had 3 deer 15 feet downwind of me at night while walking back to the truck and they never smelled me while I stood motionless. I breathe through my nose not my mouth and the Mexican vanilla really does work. I get the Mexican vanilla at a local hispanic grocery for about $7.50 a quart. And it's pleasant to smell.
