I have been using fundamental scent control such as showering before hunts using scent control soap, washing hunting clothes in scent control detergent and storing in sealed bag, spraying down with scent control spray before hunting.

More times that not, I seem to get busted when deer get downwind. I started thinking about the scents my other gear might pick up.

I would like to know if anyone does anything special to store their climbing stand and pack between hunts to keep them scent free as well. I currently keep mine in the garage, may be picking up scent of car (gas, oil, exhaust) as well as scent of the garbage can.
