Default RE: anyone knwo how to minimize human scent?

First and foremost always hunt with the wind in your face. Sometimes this means putting up multiple stands in the same area so you can move around to stay downwind from the deer.

Here is what I do. I wash all my clothes in scent eliminating soap with fresh earth scent. Then I place them all in a trash bag. Before I head into the woods I take them out get dressed and spray myself down with scent eliminator with fresh earth scent. So far it has worked great for me.

You never know when a quick breeze may suddenly blow the opposite direction so it is important to stay scent free even when you are hunting the wind.

Soonershooter is right about the boots. Never wear them except for the area you're hunting. Remember any human or foreign scent that may attach itself to the soles of your boots will leave a nice scent trail all the way to your stand.
