RE: Storing your camo during the season and off season
Thanks guys, it sounds like alot of you use the same iseas. I forgot about the scent wafers. I think I will use those too. Man, I cant believe only 2 more trips to the woods this hunting season for me.

RE: Storing your camo during the season and off season
I've got 8-10 large Rubbermaid containers here at
home that I use for storing my hunting gear. Yes,
I wash them out with scent killer soap and also
spray them with scent killer spray, then allowing
them to air dry outside. Occasionally I will throw
some dirt, sticks, and leaves in the bottom of each.
While hunting I use 4 HS Specialties scent proof bags.
They are much easier to transport and take up less
room in my truck.
I never wear any of my hunting clothes until after
I've parked and shut my vehicle off. No doubt it makes
for some chilly moments getting dressed, but IMO it
is worth it. I usually wear a pair of sweats and a sweatshirt
that I've washed in scent free soap when on my way to
hunt.

I use big rubbermaid-type totes as well. I wash them out with scent killer soap and then spray them with scent killer spray and dry them out. Then I collect cedar bows and/or pine needles and put a nice layer on the bottom of the tote. I also place some bows/needles between layers of clothes. I hunt where there are natural cedars and pines.
I keep all of my clothes in them, including underwear and socks. After I shower with scent-killer soap and dry off with my towel I washed in scent killer detergent and hung outside to dry, I put on my under (first) layers of clothes. I put on the rest of my layers when i get out to the woods and my vehicle is shut off. Note: I spray the interior (including steering wheel) of my car with scent killer spray too. I have yet to be winded and have had deer almost stand on me when ground hunting!! I was sitting on their trail! I wear descented boots in my car, but have another set that I put on when i get dressed.

in the off season ,just like everyone else it seems i keep all my hunting stuff ,camo ,fanny pack boots etc,in a rubbermaid tote, once it's time to use the clothes i use them in unscented soap and store them in a plastic bag , all the other stuff i spray the heck out of with scent killer! i take a shower in the morning with scent killer soap ,i don't put on my hunting clothes (camo till i get to my hunting area ,if i hunt in walking distance then thats the back yard, if i'm gonna travel (in a vehicle) then i get dressed where ever i park , i also was a complete set of "street" clothes in scent free soap as well as a towel and wash cloth.
