Default RE: How do you apply your cover scents?

I don't. I bought some scent neutralizer last year and used it a couple of times... realized I didn't have any different hunting experience as before (seeing tons of deer every time out) and figured I was wasting my money. Unless I get muddy or sweaty, I try not to wash my clothes, but as I said on another thread, even then, I use normal detergent and do nothing different than any of my other laundry. There has been debate after debate on this, but I say most of it is a bunch of hoopla... I kill deer without it, so why am I gonna worry about scent elimination?

Like I also said on a different thread, my husband used to go to the local apple orchard and pick up fallen apples for free with permission and throw them in a cooler with his clothes for the next day's hunt. Totally natural scent cover and didn't cost any money either. He agrees though, it didn't make a difference in his hunt, and he's taken a couple of really nice bucks that are hanging on our wall.

To each their own, and I am sure depending on how populated (with humans) the area is you are hunting, it could make a difference. If you are hunting timbuktu where there are never "people" scents, cover up may be more effective or necessary compared to a place like I hunt where the deer walk through people's back yards all of the time.
