RE: Scent killers
Slinger, my season opened the10th, I hunted the same stand the 10th, 11th and on the 12th at about 1130 am two fat does with a yearling and a 4ptr came out of the thicket 35 yards behind my stand to my left, they stopped to graze at about the same distance directly behind my stand, THEY WERE DOWN WIND FROM ME!!! I expected the deer to be coming from a different direction, obviously, my point is...they grazed right down wind from me for about 30 minutes with about a 7MPH breeze at my face(checked the weather report after).....what was I using?
1 GAL DISTILLED WATER 16 OZ 3% PEROXIDE (WALL MART) 8 OZ BOX OF BAKING SODA (A&H) 2 SHOT GLASSES OF HS BODY/SHAMPOO SOAP (GREEN STUFF) I could not believe it, I only tried the mix cause I read it on the internet and it was cheap, about $10 for a GAL to get all the ingredients! Except the HS soap I had that already. I was wearing regular Mossy Oak cammo, with no scent lock washed in HS laundry soap, I bathed with the same soap (HS) and put on scent free BAN roll-on deodorant (WALL MART) under my armpits.....and yes I rubbed a little on my NADS!:) I sprayedmy clothes with this stuff from the inside and out around my arm pits and crotch, I sprayed my hands, boots and hat, tree stand even rubbed some on my head. I will never buy 6OZ of scent killer for $5.99 again!!!!!! Hope this helps! BO |

I will never buy 6OZ of scent killer for $5.99 again!!!!!! Hope this helps! BO I agree that this stuff works "the nuts". I'll be using it for my fourth season this year and the experiences I've had since then convince me that it's worth the little bit of hassle to brew it up - and cheap. One little tip I didn't see above is to buy a 99 cent spray bottle in the housewares section of Walmart. Take the sprayer off the bottle and it will fit onto a 32oz peroxide bottle. You need to store this recipe in a dark bottle or the peroxide will turn to water (that's why they sell peroxide in those dark bottles in the first place). |
RE: Scent killers
MF44 is right about the dark spray bottle for the stuff your are taking to the field...i keep my galon with the remaining stuff in the back of a closet where it's dark.

RE: Scent killers
I wanted to bump this back up.I've found this scent killer to be one of the best and cheapest!
Don't waste your money on all the other scent killers!Baking soda,peroxide and HS body soap works great! |
RE: Scent killers
2 SHOT GLASSES OF HS BODY/SHAMPOO SOAP (GREEN STUFF) |
RE: Scent killers
Hunters Specialties soap.......good old Wally World!
|
RE: Scent killers
PSEBO do you just mix all the ingredients together? How long can you store it?
|
RE: Scent killers
Knemo, I just took the Gal of distilled water and poured out about 20 oz, the I put half of it in a clean milk jug, put the 16 oz bottle of peroxide and HS soap in one and the baking soda in the other, put the cap back on and shake them until everything is diluted and then pour the two jugs into a clean Clorox jug (the Clorox jug is dark plastic and won't let light into it, peroxide turns into regular water if light hits it for extended periods of time, that's why peroxide comes in a brown bottle) any other type of container that'll stop light will do. Once combined store for 24hrs with the cap loose...this is important...loose the mix creates harmless gas and you don't want it to explode and make a mess. After the 24 hrs just pour some back into the peroxide bottle with a spray head and go to town on all your equipment.....this stuff works!!!!
 Today at 0900 I had two does at 20 yds down wind and never got winded, also don't forget to use scent free deodorant and wash you clothes in the laundry version of HS soap.Good luck, Bo |
RE: Scent killers
Knemo, Forgot that second question...the guy that gave me the recipe said he used his first batch two seasons with awesome results.

RE: Scent killers
I have used the Hunters Specialties products for years. I shower in the green scent free soap (body and Hair), wash all my clothes in their scent free laundry soap, and store my clothes in scent bags until the hunt. Once dressed I spray down with the HS Scent Away spray from top to bottom and pin a couple of their earth scent wafers on and I'm ready to go. Like I said, I have used this for years with alot ofsuccess. Hope this helps, and good luck.

RE: Scent killers
Have used this recipe for the past couple of seasons and it is great. Make sure you leave the cap off (or very loose)of your mixture for at least 24 hours. I made the mistake of jumping the gun and put my gallon jug in the back seat of my carwith the cap secureafter about 8 hrs, well two hours into the trip the cap exploded off and I needed the scent killer for something else.
|
RE: Scent killers
Again, it works really well. I've gone another archery season without a snort to be heard except after a hit. I love the simple "solutions" in hunting....no pun intended.
|
RE: Scent killers
What part do you guys think the soap actually plays in this mixture? Is it just to add some "smell" to it? I'm getting ready to make a batch, and I don't have any of that soap on hand...i do have scent free liquid detergents though...think that would work? Thanks guys.
|
RE: Scent killers
I use just that. Scent Killer. It's made by the Wildlife Research Center and it works great for me. I also like the spray they have.
|
RE: Scent killers
Though I haven't made it yet. I read where after you mix it together you should store in dark bottle/jug and leave the cap loose for 24 hrs. Not sure if that may cause it or not?
