RE: Being Scent Free?
Be totally scent free is impossible, but we can impact the amount of scent we displace. Be that by commericial or homebrew products it is far superior than nothing. I wash my clothes and self in unscent products, air dry outside and store them in sealed containers with area field materials. I change when out of my truck and use a scent eliminator spray while hunting. I also eat foods that produce the least smell and only consuming water before/during a hunt. baking soda is a hunters best friend for absorbing odours post a hunt and often I will stick my gear in a bag or another sealed container with a 1/2 a box of BS, then set them outside and into my field material container for the next trip.
Whatever scent method you choose, nothing is more important than the wind!!! Keeping the wind on your nose or at least your cheek will be the best scent control you' ll ever use. Contrary to the popular catch phrase.... I use my own " Never forget the wind when you hunt" it is your best friend! Pre season scouting will allow you to revamp your scheduled plans based on the wind direction and thus why I feel scouting is so essential to your success in the field.
