Default does dead down wind spray really work?

Does the Dead Down Wind scent killer spray really work, like if you spill something on your clothes, will it eliminate the smell, or it just gets rid of less extreme odors like sweat...

Not trying tostart a controversyor debate,just wondering how good it works.

I think it works pretty well. I have not spilled anything on me to cover the smell. My huntingclose also never smell like sweat because i wash them a lot. But i do think ddw is a very good sent spray for hunting. just like other cover up sprays.

Unless we poll the deer....we'll never know, for sure. BUT....I'd like to think it helps mask the odors I'm taking in with me. If not....I'm sure wasting a lot of time and a little money.

Dont ask how it happened, but a buddy of mine got some rotten chicken juice squirted on him. No shower or hose around but he did have a bottle of dead down wind spray and sprayed himself down pretty well and no more nasty rotten chicken smell. Ive also had good luck with it deer hunting.

White Lightning WILL leave a residue (chalky) on all your stuff. If you get this on your arrows......BE CAREFUL.....they may make a noise when being drawn back through your arrow rest.

Just my experience.

Well, since you didn't gibve anoption that it eliminates MOST odors, I voted SOME.

I've been using it exclusively for the past 2 seasons and I believe it works. It's just plain hot here in Texas in the early season and I can't always clean up after the morning hunt so I spray liberally with eth spray and have yet to be busted in 2 seasons. I believe it works better than most of the other stuff out there. It smells kindda funny when you first spray it on, but it dissipates quickly.
