I used to use face paint. The stuff I used kind of smelled like a crayon. Now I use a head net. I would like to go back to paint for my elk hunt ( if I draw), if in fact there is odorless paint available.

Well I can tell you some of the Army stuff has a scent. I am thinking that it probably is scent free for hunters but if it has a smell they no doubt can pick it out.

I think they can smell anything. To say it is odorless is what our senses can smell; not theirs. I don't think it is an alarming odor and I have shot many deer using it while bowhunting. I would be more worried about your breath and body odor.

Deer are tuned into human odor. That crayon smell is not a human odor. Some guys pee right off their treestands with no ill effects. I know a guy who smokes on stand and kills lots of deer.
