The smell of campfire smoke is one of the strongest smells you can get on your hunting clothes next to maybe gasoline. I wouldn't want that smell on mine. My dad and uncles used to sit around the campfire with their hunting clothes on. They didn't kill many deer and I think I know why.

Campfire smoke may be a "natural" smell but I'd rather not have ANY smell. In fact, I'd shower before heading into the woods if I'd been sitting around a campfire.
That is not an option for me, I get to hunt for four days in the middle of nowhere i.e. no facilities. It will be cold, so sitting by the fire would be nice, but I won't do so if it might ruin my chances.
