Look, I didn't mean to insult you. I assume then that you use baking soda, because I just can't imagine that you use Tide for your hunting clothes.

I wasn't insulted Mobow. I wash my clothes in plain water and hang them out on the line or in some sort of ferns or small trees/bushes.

People should hunt the wind, its 95% of your success I think if not more. The big mature 4.5+ year old bucks will never hang on one's wall not hunting the wind outside the rut. During the rut there stupid with one thing on there mind.

I say keeping your clothes clean and hanging outside is a great start. The most overlooked part of one's hunting clothing is their boots.

I 100% agree Brett. Whats a guy do about his boots? I've used plastic bags over my feet and let my boots air dry when not hunting but I don't think I'm doing good enough with my boots.

RE: Best Scent Control Product

I'm guilty, I use a scent free soap to take showers! Baking soda for the washing machine! I did kill a Doe last year after work with no scent control, just playing the wind... I'm just sayin....:D:D:D:D

On a serious note, it is a good thing to take proper steps for scent control as in showering and camo wash.. But that spray stuff is even more of a gimmick than the Scent Blocker clothing! Spraying your money away every hunt has got to get expensive?? But this is just my opinion, to each his own!

The wind!:D

So then, you guys don't wash your clothes in unscented soap, or take showers w/ unscented soap before you go hunting, right? ;)I HIGHLY doubt that's the case.

[/blockquote]Yes I do take showers but no I don't use unscented soap for showers or for my clothes. Geez what did people do 15 years ago when this stuff wasn't out??;) Hunt the wind is your best scent control bar none!

Right on Shultzy. It amazes me the people that believe that this stuff even remotely makes a difference. And how can I say it DOESN'T? From repeated observations with and without it from the same stands in the same weather conditions.

I wash my hunting clothes in regular detergent and I bathe the same whether I am hunting or not.

When in the mountains, I sometimes go without a bath for 7 days straight, yet I have still been able to take elkor mule deer on that last day. Go figure.

I do however hunt the windeach and every timeI hunt. If the wind is wrong for that set up, I either go to a different spot or stay at home.

Save your money for something more worthwhile. JMHO

Gimmick? Since Scent Killer can remove gasoline smell off my hands, I think I'll continue to use that type of "gimmick" for many years to come. ;)

RE: Best Scent Control Product

My dog was sprayed by a skunk and I sprayed him down with my homemade scentkiller. It got rid of the skunk smell so you could say it passed my test :D. Someone mentioned boots. When I wear my leather boots I spray my socks, the inside of the boots and the outside of the boots. Then I step in mud, deer crap, whatever on my way in. Probably doesn't eliminate my scent but I am betting it dilutes the heck out of it.

Homemade scentkiller - 0ne quart of distilled water, one quart of hydrogen peroxide 3%, 1/2 cup of baking soda and one ounce of scent free (unscented) shampoo or body wash.

Scent Killer is all I use, andhasworked very well for mein the past. It kills 99% of human odor molicules. I use the odorless formula only.
