Don't make the mistake of thinking that your ever scent free because I personally do not believe that is possible. We can tone down our scent with good prep before going out and minimize our odor with rubber boots sprays and such but we do still have a scent no matter what. We exchange our scent or mix our scent with the scent killers and Sent Loc products but the deer still smell those odors. The wind is King and as little movement as posssible is Queen. Also for your breath carry some slices of apple with you it helps and begin with a baking soda type toothpaste. I believe in doing all one can to eliminate strong scent but don't stop thinking when you spray or put on carbon gear these animals are not stupid like some say. If they were not a challenge to hunt who would hunt them? Good Hunting To Ya!
you can't eliminate all scent. the mythbusters tried it by dressing in rubber suit that was deemed scent free, rubber boots, a gas mask hat filters air going out and duct taped the seems. the dog still found him. also they tried it with all the scent killer soaps and sprays with scentlok clothing. the dog had no trouble finding him
