Default Anything else?

I have gotten myself set up for a south wind and the weather channel says that in the morning the wind will be south south east. But my questions is about scent freeing myself. I have the arm and hammer scentless deodorant, scent away autumn blend, and earth scent wafers. I also have the no stinking bugs bug spray, it smells like dirt aswell. No I have a platic box with a snap on lid I keep all my stuff in. I have it powdered with baking soda and have a scent wafer in aswell as all my clothes and fanny packs. Then I have a sock with baking soda in it to kinda dust myself off. I will be 20 or so yards away down wind with face net and gloves on. Is there anyhting else I need to do? I know the main thing is to be down wind, but sometimes they will come from that way and I want to be scent free as much as possible. Also about 18-20 feet up. So help me out, thanks in advance...

Sounds like your the one who should be helping other people out...There is nothing left to do, you've done it all and then some,...., being 18-20 ft in the air I wouldn't worry about it, looks like you have it covered

Just a suggestion.
But what I usually do pick up some vegation of the area before the hunt. If I am hunting in a *Pine or fur* type area, i will pick some small branches and store the branches in the same bag that I store my camo clothes...that way, my clothes already have a natural sent of the area when im ready to hunt.

Yeah I could do that aswell, does that work pretty well? I lit some straw on fire and stood int he smoke one time when i hunted next to a fresh burn, i never really thought the leaves and sticks would do that great if put with my clothes... May try it though...

im assuming your hunting whitetail. I have never hunted white tail before, so I am unfamiliar with there habits. But this seems to work for me, in my neck of the woods
