how effective are hunting scent elimination products
if you do some research the answers rather obvious..
the truth is you can reduce but never eliminate your human scent or odor,

cover scents can be used to help partially mask your scent, and various products will reduce the amount of scent your leaving around the area/
get up over 20 -25 feet in elevation in a tree stand and on a hotter and dryer day ,
( once the sun comes out, the air currents tend to move and rise and as moisture evaporates it reduces your odor pool.)
thermals tend to rise, and with a bit of a breeze youll drastically reduce your scent pool in the area.
youll never eliminate your scent trail, down wind,
but scent absorbing sprays clean clothes and masking odor scents will help, reduce the ease of game detecting your presents
be aware of its MOTION and your human silhouette that will betray you frequently, decent camo and breaking up your human silhouette
goes a long way towards making you far less obvious.
yeah most of us are forced to wear an orange vest and hat, but its lack of movement and reducing your human silhouette
and odor trail that can help improve your odds , I have frequently gotten into 30-40 yards of big game
and used a hand gun very effectively ,so its certainly not impossible to do



its just common sense,info, but it should be obvious that some clothing is far easier to see in the wooded environment at a distance even if your not moving , and staying in mixed shadow helps break up the human form
