Default RE: Best Scent Eliminator?

I'm gonna stick with "WIND IN YOUR FACE". This is the best and ONLY true 100% scent killer. I know you guys back east spend a lot of time in tree stands and can't really "hunt" the wind, but experts will tell you to put up more than one stand so you CAN "hunt the wind".
A deer has 125 million olfactory cells and a human just 5 million. (IMO) They can still smell something 'fishy' in and amongst the scent blocker odors. Swirling winds, you're just screwed.
Around here it's the Elk nose we've got to worry aboutand look at how much bigger that is! And I do carry various urines and such but not to spray on me as much as to use as a wind indicator. A spritz or two and you know exactly where the wind is and you use it to your advantage. And THAT smell is traveling downwind to matbe lure the big fella in a little closer.
The one thing I am anal about is washing ALL cammo stuff in a detergent with no UV brighteners like Sport Wash. Deer may not see all of the color spectrum, but it has been proven that they can detect "brightness" variances. Like what shines off of your newly laundered clothing. All laundry detergent uses some kind of UV brightener. You know, for "Whiter Whites". What the hell is whiter than white>?!
So my advice, don't glow in the dark and keep your nose in the wind and they will never know you are there. . . 'till they feel the sting!
