I' ve listened to several very experienced and successful bowhunters who like to hunt in wood-smokey clothes. From the West to the East and all points in between, it apparently works for them.

I' ve never intentionally " smoked" my hunting clothes, so I can' t speak from personal experience, though. I can say that I don' t use commercial cover scents anymore, prefering to rub down with black walnuts, damp leaves, and aromatic soil each trip afield.
