I grab my hunting clothes that are hung up in my basement, I put them on, if it's cold I leave the outer layers off till I get to my hunting spot. I then put the outer layers on, spray myself with some scent eliminator and go hunt.
Sometimes people make this way more difficult than it has to be. My results speak for themselves, I have killed many many deer from does to P&Y bucks, as well as all other types of game animals. I have killed them with my firearms and bow and have been doing it for many years now. All this talk about scent lock this and driving to my hunting spot in your skivies that, is all very amusing to me. Some go as far as to store their clothes in plastic sealed tubs or put leaves and dirt in with them or them little wafer deals that are earth scented....it's a hoot!
Me, I like to keep things simple, I hang my hunting coats and bibs on a bar under my basement stairs in the unfinished utility room. The rest of the clothes go in a plastic cabinet I purchased from Home Depot.
Works for me....I don't see the problem....I really don't
Here are some pics in case you don't believe me.
anything you can do to help is a positive in my book. I don't think that the steps listed above are for naught.
MidwestJ,
I agree that the steps some have listed are positive........ I just don't believe it helps as much asthey think it does. For all the trouble some go through with their clothes, I feel it would be time better spent watching the wind, their entry and exit routes to and from their stands or hunting spotsas well as stand placement, but that's just me.
Iwash my hunting stuffwith scent free detergent and dry them in the dryer. Then Istore them upas pictured.I will spray myself down with some type of scent blocker (whatever is on sale) before I head into the woods but that's it.
To each their own I guess. Still, I can't help but get a chuckle when I read what some are doing just to get dressed to go hunt.
