I belive scent control is important to a point. Yes you need to wash your clothes in the Earth Plus Detergent. Then spray your self down with some type of cover scent before you head to the woods. People that buy into that scent-lok suit you guys are wasteing your money. I have had deer down wind of me and they didnt pick up my scent. I thought of this say you put a dead animal that has been laying next to the road on on hot summer day. You take that dead animal rap him up in the scent-lok suit. Are you going to still smell him? Please save your money or spend it on something else.
