I do today what I have been doing since I began hunting many years ago.

I wash my clothes in baking soda and store them in a plastic container with leaves, twigs, dirt, etc from the area.

I try to keep myself clean and never use any sweet smelling soap or shampoo.

And, most importantly, I always hunt the wind the best I can and will hunt high above the forest floor to help keep my scent above the deer's nose.

I have no use for cover scents, scent blockers, scent attractants, etc. To me, it's all a marketing ploy to get more money from hunters. If you are upwind of any deer, you're busted every time. If you're downwind, a deer should not smell you. He may hear you or see you but not smell you.

To think you can fool a deer's nose by using a scent eliminator, is seriously underestimating the deer's sense of smell.

That being said, if you think it works for you, I highly suggest you continue to use it.
