Default RE: Scent control question...

I use stuff on my clothes to kill the scent and also to kill UV by washing it. Small bottle lasted me 3 or 4 yrs. Only other scent stuff I use is the earth scent (smells like dirt) I will keep my hunting clothes in a scent free bag and spray them down with that so they smell the same everytime I pull them out. Another good way is to use them earth dryer sheets and toss one into the bag also. SoI don't use stuff to spray myself down when I am ready to go into the woods.

I don't smoke, and keep my clothes in that bag whenever not in use. For washing myself I just use non scented shampoo. Doesn't have to be some special hunting brand. If you look around hard enough you can find stuff with no perfume smell for people that are allergic to them.

I do like the unscented deoderant, but you must also remember that if your going to do any amount of walking to your spot you will sweat. You got all that gear on to stay warm and your making your body work. Take your time walking, get there early so you will not want to sweat and also keep your noise down. Sure Scent lock gear may help this. I don't own any though.

Stuff like Gum-o-flauge and crap I don't by into. Me and a buddy actually came up with something similar a few years ago.. Non-scented toothpaste, mouthwash. Think we should have gone with it as they now sell it all and even breathmints for hunting.. I did make the suggestion of making it of doe in heat flavor as a joke when we talked about it. Almost made 2 hunting buddies hurl when I said it. I thought it was funny.

I know I got my scent down and it seems to work. Last yr was my first year in a stand. Had alot of deer walk up to within 10yards of me. All other hunting was on the ground, and have had deer stand 5 yards from, had a doe a couple yrs ago walk into a field I was sitting on the edge of 3 yards from me. I have never been busted for my scent, moving, sneezing (that sucks) and misfires on my blackpowder gun has. Upgraded to a 209 primer .45 cal this yr also. See how that likes the rain.
