Kill scent on Rubber Boots??
 

How do you get rid of scent on Rubber boots???? I used White Lighting, Carbon Blast and No Scent last year and if a deer crossed where I walked in he would get nervous and start looking for me. I even had a doe track me all the way to my tree one time. I always spray down before I go in the woods bottom of boots and sides. I try not to put them on until I get to where I'm gonna hunt also. Any suggestions appreciated.

On a serious note: try to step in the smelliest natural item in your woods prior to walking to your stand.

Mine was always a semi fresh cow pie.

Spray on scents don't last very long on rubber boots because rubber boots are not porous.

The cow pie chunks on your boots and will at least make the walk to your stand. Once at your stand, quietly tap your boots against a tree to knock off the chunks.

I use rocky bear claws...never had a deer scent my trail yet....everyone says rubber is better but until I have a problem I wont worry about it.

I put my rubber boots on after I get out of the truck.

Coon Pee is the best cover scent for me.

I have watched deer cross my trail.

They they don't seem to notice.

I try and be real careful not to brush up agianst twigs and branches.

I always heard that rubber boots don't hold scent. I don't know, I personally don't use em'. Give me some old Rocky Gortex and I'm good. Were your pant legs tucked in the boot?

Um. This is a new one.

As for scent killers. The best I've ever seen is Odor Nix. Its actually used in the medical field. Its awesome.

I wonder what the deer were smelling? Did you stop and get gas on the way in? Do you use carpet cleaner to clean your floors in the truck?

I have used smashed up acorns and it worked great.

I've always put a little doe estrous on my boots when I get out of the truck, I can't tell you the bucks I've killed that came the same way to my stand as I did.......

I always like to use doe pee not in estrous just plain ol doe pee and the same as bigaggie i've killed my share of bucks following it right to my tree even in early October!!! Walt

Scrub them with baking soda and an unscented detergent in the hottest water you can stand before each season.If that is done and they are kept away from any un-natural odors you shouldn't have any problems.I also spray the bottoms and tops with either the home made scent killer remedy that is so often posted here or vanishing hunter.I never have a deer wind where I walked in.

I just leave mine in my shed all year round...no forgine odors outside...;)

Sometimes I think it is because the inside of the boots stink really bad (like mildew).
So when you walk it pushes that air out with every step and you leave scent.

If I can smell mildewed boots in my closet, there's no reason a deer can't smell that.

I wear X-Scent socks and put my boots on at the truck and then spray them down with scent killer.
Seems to work.

Yes I tuck my pants inside the boots. I usually put my boots on when I get to where I'm hunting. But do sometimes where them when driving. Never while at the gas station. But I'm sure there is some scent on the floor board. I will do what ya'll have suggested and clean them up good and use some kind of cover scent with it.

Thanks

I thought this is why you wear rubber boots.[8D]

I had trouble with deer scenting me until bought Lacross rubber boots. No trouble since then. I don't know why they are scenting you unless you have a car freshner in your vehicle. Rubber doesn't hold or drop scent unless it is attached to the rubber treads. Your problem is an easy fix as soon as you figure out what is causing it...
