Default RE: Scent Control

I disagree...

Be neurotic about it... Everything you do can help. Wash your clothes in scent free soap and dry them, put them in an airtight container. If you can afford it buy a zinc fabric underlayer to wear against your skin (anti-microbial) and a carbon activated outer layer. Make sure you use anti-scent wash on your towels you will use to dry off.

Shower EVERY time before you go out and hunt with an appropriate anti-scent soap. After dressing use a no scent spray and my favorite coon urine for you boots as a great cover scent. make sure you spray all your equipment down with no scent spray too (backpacks, etc.)

Hey, you never hear someone say "I did too good of a job being scent free", but you will hear a lot of people say that they spooked or got nailed by dear, especially bow-hunters. I know I have been in a stand and been snort/wheezed at or busted and I thought for sure there was no way they are going to nail me. Since I have become so worried about this and taken an active role in reducing scent, I have had significantly more success deer hunting.

By the way, next year I am going vegeterian a month before the season starts!
