Home-made vs store bought scent killer
#1
So, out of the folks who have used both, which scent killer seems to work better, or is there no appreciable difference between the two? Some of the areas I hunt the deer can come from any direction, and even though I hunt the wind for the most likely possibilities, that is no guarantee one won't come in downwind. I like to stack the odds as much as possible.
Also, if there is a product you feel is head and shoulders above the rest, tell us what it is.

havent made any home brew yet...been using White Ligning and Scent Killer though. both seem to work great. i had gas on my hand and sprayed white lighning on it..gas smell was gone! got some Active Scrape in the truck today..holy cow does that stuff SMELL i wanted to puke. they need to make them bottles easy to pour from! but thinking on my toes i grabbed the scent killer..spray spray spray...GONE! i thought for sure i was going to have to steam clean and scrub the truck! i definently found alot of uses for that stuff
and my clothes dont have that "smell" anymore. dirt...wet..fall leave kinda dirty smell they used to have. im satisfied thus far....i had the same problem you did..deer can come from everywhere and the wind is never the same..changing every 20 minutes sometimes..so ive gone scent free and i think itll help.
had 2 doe come in boarderline downwind..one stayed and ate at 10yds away..the other chose to eat UNDER my stand. i couldnt see her because she was straight down. i was like nooo its over..i walked around that tree 100 times setting up the climber. she never flinched...till she hit my pull up rope that i forgot to pull up and didnt spray!! she jumped back a few feet but relaxed..she knew something was wrong..she was big and old..hung around another minute and then snorted once..i laughed coz she didnt wind me. just knew something was up..25foot up

I use the store bought stuff only because I have some left. I'd like to make my own and have seen the recipe on here a few times, but it list the hydrogen porxide as being the 3% stuff that you can buy over the counter just about anyplace.
Some time back, I think it was Greg/MO who provided a link to another recipe where the guy used swimming pool quality/strength HP. If that link is still around...I'd like to try it.
