RE: How important is SCENT CONTROL to you???
My scent control worries are diminishing more and more each year and my success keeps going up every year. I haven' t abandoned scent control , but it may not be that far off. First of all I have learned to pattern the deer and hunt the wind accordingly ......and not just go sit in the stand because it looks like a good day to hunt it. If the wind is not right.......I hunt elsewhere !!
Scent Control = Currently I use regular unscented laundry detergent (in an unscientific testing in my local grocery store I decided Purex free and clear was by far the lowest oder= too me way less than H.S.Specialties even does)
I use regular unscented soap and deoderant from the grocery store......which is much cheaper than Specialty products. I put all my clothes in a big bag when washed and I usually put my outer layer of clothing on after I' m out of my truck and on the way to the stand.
I really feal like I could skip even these basic steps if I only hunted the wind.......but for some reason just doing these few things gives me more confidence !! Good Luck and we' ll wait to see what the die hard fanatics have to say........several months ago I got hit with this by someone worried about U.V.brighteners !! [:-]
Oh and I do believe in Rubber boots !!
