SCENT ELIMINATION STRATEGY HELP
 

Guys.......

I am a fanatic about scent control and have a question. Im looking for suggestions for my 10 year old..... I cant find a scent lok suit small enough for him so...... need suggestions....

Here is what I do for myself....

First - ALL my clothes are washed in scent killer detergents, dried with scent killer dryer sheets.... and immediately bagged up in plastic bags,then into my tubs that have a nice bed of dried oak leaves in them........ I never bring ANY of my hunting clothes inside, or inside my truck- all year....
I shower with scent killer soap, and shampoo, bruch teeth with peroxide and baking soda.......

I carry all my hunting clothes in rubbermaid (large) containers. One for my scent lok suit, one for my coat, sweats etc..., one for my drive clothes, one for socks, underware, thermals, and one for my boots.....(my boots stay in them all year-except when I let them air out as I only wear them one week a year)

In the morning I have the ' Drive Clothes' tub out the door and change into the clothes I drive in, then drive to my hunting area. When I arrive I have a board I flop on the ground and stand on- and change into my hunting pants, jacket, SL Suit, and boots...

Thats it... the drive clothes go back into the drive clothes container........and off to my stand i go (after spraying my bow, release, arrows with scent killer......and boots, then I pour some coon urine on the ground and rub my boots in it....)

I am thinking about using the carbon scent blaster on my sons pants, and sweat shirts that he will wear under his one piece camo suit (non scent lok) and he will follow the same scent control system I do minus the lok suit....I have never used it though.. I figure if i use a bunch of it on his ' middle' clothing later It should work well.... but Im not sure........

ANY other suggestions BESIDES keeping the wind in my face =) ?????

And my wife calls me a freak! I knew I was over the top about my scent control but I think you might have me topped. I think you have it covered as much as you can without wrapping your son in plastic.[&:]

Just remember that you also have to worry about being quiet and not moving. Neither is an easy task with a 10 year old. Try to keep it fun for him.

You are right though. Keeping the wind in your face will do more than most of the other jazz.

HaHa ! Yes Im a freak I guess ! I am just way careful because hunting with the wind in my favor is not always possible where I hunt due to the hilly terrain and I can only approach my stand from a given direction due to private property on each side where I enter the woods. I also know that my 2 favorite stand locations on the track of land are good ones, and are some of the easiest to reach without making a ton of noise getting to them because of the 8" of dry oak leaves on the forest floor combined with steep hills everywhere...... and on top of that it really doesnt matter where i hunt... I know my scent is going somewhere i dont want it too....... So I figure eveything i can do is one more plus.... i was 5 yards upwind of a doe last year for 5 minutes - she was uphill of a tree I was in, and almost eye level and did not bust me and the wind was blowing straight at her....I was actually waiting on a buck to hit the trail downhill- and up wind of me...- I was totally amazed and forever sold on being careful of my scnt........
