I went through bow season without doing a single thing scent wise and i saw at least 20 deer within 30 yards and some walked right under my stand without busting me.
but as soon as gun season comes around i noticed they will bust me every time.
So I take a bath in the scent free soap wash my clothes in sportwash then use scent eliminator when I get in the field.
I wear leather and rubber boots and never noticed any bad effects from ether.
scent never seems to bother the deer where i am and I've been busted from moving more than them smelling me.
