I dunno.....Call in artillery??
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.

If hunting the wind were all that is needed, why do anything else??

The most overlooked part of one's hunting clothing is their 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....
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!
[/blockquote]You beat me to it Joe!!!

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!

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

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 . 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.

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.
