Default Do you Believe in being scentproof?

Does being all scent proof really matter becuase i put my camos away after every hunt in a scentproof bag and put my boots outside and spray them down and then go out to breakfeast and see other hunters sitting down on the chair eating breakfeast! so i am wondering is it really worth all the extra time i take to put everything away?

2 different questions.

1. Yes. It's worth it.

2. No. You aren't going to get scent "proof".

Scent controlled - yes

Scent proof - impossible.

I agree that it is definitely all worth it. I'm to the point now with my scent control methods that I'll be surprised the next time I get busted by a deer. Of course I know it will happen because it is impossible to not get busted, but I've now gone over a year without having a deer even noticing me due to scent. Before I began practicing scent control religiously it was nothing out of the ordinary to have a deer bust me with his/her nose, now, (most of the time) thats a thing of the past

yes I believe in scent control. Can't get rid of it 100% but with some care and the wind it can really improve your chances. So please continue showering..
