It's funny how no matter how much I think I'm sent free, the deer can still see me. lol
I never much liked the smell of autom or earth scent. Smells like mold in a bottle. Ya wanna smell like dirt, go roll in the dirt. Many hunters shower with hunters soap and shampoo then dry off with a towel that is Bounty Fresh, comb or brush there hair with the same old comb or brush. No good. Wash your towels with your sent aliminating detergent and use it after you shower. Keep a hunting comb or brush in a container of some sort and spray it with scent eliminator once in awhile. There are a lot of tricks and routeens people go through, just a mater of getting clean and getting your cloths and gear clean and keep them that way til you get to the woods. Carbon suits are a great tool if used properly. Useless if not.
Otherwise the guys here got it pretty well covered, the skunk thing is right on the money. lol
