Last few years it has been wash everything, store in a bag with earth wafers, spray down with scent killer, use coon urine, hunt the wind advantage if possible.

This year, I worked most all day, picked my clothes up off the laundry room floor where they had been the last 2 days, use the same socks and shoes, wear clothes to the field in vehicle, thermacell fuel cell empty so spray on some OFF to repel skeeters, walk in and get a little sweaty, stop and spray vanilla extract on a weed, spray nilla on self, pat on face like cologne, spray on fallen log, climb into stand, about sundown have seven Does come in, all upwind@ 20 yards and closing, 4 go on by, 3 enter woods to smell log. 10 yards now, all had stopped to smell the weed, no flags, no snorts, nothing. The weed is gone now, they ate it! Same thing the evening i shot my buck except i had the wind in my favor that evening. I am nearly convinced I dont need anything except pure vanilla extract.
oh, also on another hunt this year, it was hot, i was sweaty, just getting into a stand when 3 Does came thru, I hadnt pulled my bow up yet, they came thru about 10 yards from me, got up wind, they never spooked, but they were sure checking the air, watched them walk on off cautiously, no snorts
