To wash or not to wash
I have several different rubbermaid totes that I keep all my hunting stuff in. I have one that is full of camo that I washed in scent free laundry soap back in the spring. Would you wash the stuff I have in there again before the season, or leave it?

Absolutly, wash them again. Always remember a deers nose is at least 100 times more sensitive than yours. A strange musty smell is out of place in the deer woods for the most part. In my opinion you can never descent enough

I have always done this every year, I was them in the spring, and then again before the season. But the other day, I got to wondering if I was going overboard. I will keep doing it the way I always have then Better get washing!!

The Tote isn't air tight so the clothes have undoubtly absorbed some odrs. Wash them again. I'll tell you the truth. I never even wash mine at the end of the season. What's the point? They'll just need another washing prior to the next season so why fade the camo any more than necessary.
