Default Your smelliest hunting item?

Suprisingly this thing causes more odor than any other item I have........After all the shooting in the summer I always forget to wash my release with baking soda before I go hunting in early October. Then I wonder why I am getting scented...LOL. Stinkfest. What is your suprisngly stinky item?

Everything I wear. Bow season here in Florida happens while it's still summer time. Temps are in the 90's by 8:00 am and the humidity is very high until about November. Thank god for scent killing spray and Thermacells.

How True!!

It's a battle to reduce the odor we take in the woods. The release is just one of those oft times overlooked items.

I have a release that only gets used when hunting and constantly gets the cleaning/descenting treatment. The wrist straps are the main culprit.

You know another surprisingly stinky item is a watch...if it comes into contact with anything it will hold scent for the longest time....cologne, smelly soap, etc. I had to stop wearing my watch.

Never forget your breath...
I try and eat an apple on the way to my stand and let the juices run down my face for a cover sent.
Better to have apple breath than peppermint breath from a stick of gum
I am foolishly serious
