we just got up a new big tree stand out in 1 of our many shelterbelt. but does scent matter when ur in a tree stand bout 20 feet up? if so what are some good products to use to get scent off? thnks

Well, you' d still want to be concerned with leaving scent going to and from the stand. Also, any scent will go downwind even up in a stand. This could spook any deer approaching from that direction. You should always do your best to minimize scent.

As for products, there are way too many to list. Scent Shield and Scent Away are some good products to start with though.

ok thnks. well i think i am going to get some scent away then and play it safe.. thnks for your help

when the wind is blowing hard YES but being 20 ft up there the deer is more than likely not gonna smell you but he will pic up from where you walked to your stand or do you sleep there? im justa smart @$$ today HEHE[8D] i wash my clothes in scent killer and use the deodurants and all that good stuff you get at walmart fore 20 bucks for the WHOLE KIT[]

don' t forget to wear rubber boots.and scent killer.

go deep hunt hard.

I always hunt at 20 feet. You still have to play the scent. I got busted quite a few times last year. I wasn' t playing the wind or keeping such a good eye on my scent. There are many products that offer scent elimination. Or you can make your own.

hey check this out , helped me out alot when i asked about scent killer

hope i did it right, but if not just do a search on " ghost juice" much cheaper than buying the marketed scent eliminators!

...you' ll have to scroll down a bit to get to the scent part but great info

I' ve had scentlock clothing for a few years. It was a gift from my family at Christmas. I love the bottoms, but have been skeptical of the tops because they seem to be too darn noisy. This year I wore the tops anyway, and had 5 deer withing spitting range. The one I got approached me from downwind. I' m convinced.

I think that you have to keep scent as a consideration regardless of what height you are hunting from. I use the scent " killer" with the autumn smell to it when I get settled up in my stand. I have had deer walk right underneath me this season without ever knowing I was there. I would recommend it.

It better matter or all the $$ I' ve spent in scent-eliminating products has gone for not. Just kidding. It seems like every year I get a little more cautious about leaving scent behind...and for this year, I' ve tried to really concentrate on minimizing my scent going to and from my stand. You' ll never be 100% scent-free, but there are enough products out there to where you can give it your best shot!

Good luck to ya!
