I spent the last week hunting with my dad and cousin. It was a great week and I cherish their company.

The only problem was that they both smoke, and have NO CONCEPT of scent control. I really don't care what they do, unless it affects me. A couple of times it did.

We'd ride in the truck together to our stands,and one or both would light up in the truck. So I now I'm in the awkward position of asking my OWN FATHER not to smoke in his own truck LOL!

Another time, I see my cousin standing in his Scentblocker suit right next to the tailpipe of his 79 Ford Truck. He's literally standing in a cloud of exhaust fumes in his hunting gear. I pushed him out of thefume cloudlike he was about to get hit by a bus! He looked at me like I was crazy.

Every night we'd have a campfire, and they'd sit around the fire in their hunting clothes. I think they only showered once the entire 5 days we hunted, and teeth brushing before the hunt was NOT a daily routine. The rationale was "I'm camping man! My wife is 3 hours away".

I was the exact opposite. I'm sticking to my extreme scent control regiment the best I can. I tried to educate these guys about scent control, but they just look at me like I'm lecturing them. I didn't want to sound like an A-hole, so I eventually just let it go. The only time I had an issue was when their "stink" got on me. It was frustrating at times.
