I use earth scent and store my gear in an ATV carry bag with one wafer open in it. I do one other thing that I truly believe helps to tone down some of the earth scent and that is to break off a live pine limb and rub the needles on my trousers, shirt (or coat) and boots (including the bottom of the boots). Does it work? I suppose it does because I have had deer all around me while in a stand many times. So yes, it works.
