Take a bath with sent free soap, wash your clothes with sent free soap. Put clothes in a plastic bag full off pine tree branches. If you hunt were cows are present step in a pile on your way to your stand. Works for me.

Same thing Motownhonkey said.Be meticulous about keeping your body, hair and equipment as scent free as possible and work the wind.Vanishing Hunter from Hawgs Ltd.is a fantastic scent elimination product.

I am really a scent control fanatic. I shower in scent free soap and shampoo, use unscented deoderant. I do use scent control clothing now but didn't use to. I have both Scentblocker and Scent Lok suits and us ethe X-scent undergarments. I was all my under clothes in scent free detergent and then store them in a real thick plastic bag and keep those in the big Rubbermaid containers. One this to remember is to was EVERYTHING in the scent free soap. That includes underwear, socks and especially the towel that you dry off with. It amazes me the guys that I have asked that will take a non scent shower and then dry off with a towel washed in april fresh Tide!
Before I used the scent suits I would place a fresh earth scent wafer in each bag and all my clothes would really absorb the smell.
I never wear anything that I will be hunting ( well except underwear) in on the ride out. I don't put on anything untill I am out of the Durango.
And of course #1 Use the wind!!!

I also use the scent kill soap, shampoo and deodorant and use a towel that has been treated the same way after I shower. I use baking soda to wash my clothes in and put them in a rubbermaid container with pine cones and needles. I also eat an apple on my way into my blind before every hunt.

One of the least expensive but inportant ways is to not impact the area's you go through and set up in. You know when someone has mowed the lawn even though you don't see anyone doing it. You smell someone has been there. I think deer can tell when someone has been in their yard, mowing through it.

I don't believe there is such a thing as scent elimination. From everything I have read, and from personal experience, I believe that scent reduction is the best you can hope for. I too am fanatical about scent control. In addition to what everybody else has said, I also use the body and hair deoderant from Robinson Labs. Since I hunt in the Big Cypress Preserve in South Florida mostly, I also use a Bug Tamer Plus with scent control. Problem is, the archery only WMA where I go is walk in only. Way down here, there is no way to avoid sweating some walking to my stand location which is usually between 1/4 and 1/2 mile from the access road. Doesn't matter what time of year it is, its usually warm at least.

I have noticed that climbing higher up in the tree helps some because the thermals tend to keep the scent up in the air longer. If I can keep from leaving a lot of my smell on the ground, I have a pretty good chance of avoiding detection. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it), I have to walk through a lot of mid-calf high water walking in, which tends to wash off any residual scent from my snake boots. BTW I keep those boots in a plastic container with a scent wafer in it, and don't put them onuntil I am ready towalk into the swamp.

try this link: http://forum.hunting.net/asppg/tm.asp?m=386928&p=4&tmode=1&smode=1

Strut & Rut provided this " recipe"

2 quarts 3% H202 (Hydrogen Peroxide, brown bottles, $.98 quart at Walmart)
2 quarts distilled water ($.50 gallon at Walmart)
2 boxes of baking soda ($.50 per box at Walmart)

Grand Total- $3.46 for 1 gallon of scent eliminator, compared to $30 in cabelas... Can you say advertising and lucrative profit?

Mix all in a bucket and stir until soda well dissolved. Let sit for at least two hours, mine sat 2 days. Keep mixing as baking soda falls out of solution and drops to the bottom of the bucket. Only so much will stay dilluted, don' t worry to much about the fall out after it' s sat awhile.

Fill containers (I used the H202 quart bottles and the rest in the gallon jug). Cap. Let sit for 1 week. Use liberally, cause the stuffs so cheap

Scent free soaps and deodorant that use enzymes to prevent odor causing bacteria. I use the body soap, laundry soap, and deodorant. All are pretty inexpensive. If you are looking into clothing, just don't want to spend an arm and leg for scent lok, or blocker, try antimicrobial, such as Xscent, or contain. Bass Pro has base layers that are anti microbial.
