RE: what to do about scent
I've always had good luck with the Scent Killer products. Clothes wash, hair and boy soap, spray etc. I always have a bottle of the spray in the truck and spray myself down before heading into the woods. I also have a little bottle of it in my pack in case I get a little warm walking in I can spray myself again in the stand.
I have always used Tink's #69 in the scent bombs and also the retractable wick. No complaints.
Season opens this weekend in Wisconsin!! Good luck all.
