:) I agree with mantis, know matter what u do u can never remain 100 percent scent free.........NO MATTER WHAT U USE. The best way to go about is to use the wind to your advantage, that is part of the game we play and i think its fun.

Ok, I just have a question for everyone, and I hate to 'take over' the post, but this seems like a prime topic to ask it in.

Most of you hopefully practice with your bow in the summer, I know I will. Now, it seems to me that our hands sweat a bit when it's warm outside. I don't know, it may just be me, I could be the odd duck, but it happens. Sometimes if I'm shooting in the middle of the day I'll take a break and have lunch, then hit the targets again.

We seem so fanatic about our clothes, our skin, and the vehicles that we ride in that we never take into consideration our bows and arrows.

It just seems to me that the sweat, oils, food residues, etc would add a bit of scent to our bows and arrows. Now, have any of you ever thought of spraying this stuff down, or no?

Have you ever even thought about this? Do you think it would make that much of a difference? I'm sure most of you have harvested animals with your equipment, so it must not be that big of a deal, so why is it we mainly worry about our clothes?

I don't at all.

By the time I zig zag across a mountain a couple thousand vertical feet ain't nothing going to help me any way. Plus I really don't believe those suits are all that effective any how.

i dont quite go to that extent, but i do spray myself down real well with scent killer and also use scent free soap and deoderant. one thing i found that works well is to take my camo. and put it into a plastic bag with leaves, dirt, grass, and anythign you might find in the woods and shake it up then let it sit in there for about a week before opener. after that i just wash it in baking soda and keep my clothes outside as much as possible.

I stick to the same regiment that most do, but was wondering what people do to hide there bad breath?. I have read a few articles suggesting to take chloropyhll tablets. that or were several face masks. Or just say heck with it put in a big chew and go hunting...jk

I've had to put out a smoke to shot a deer.:D Don't worry about your breath, just play the wind.;)

A few things I do that have not been mentioned already.
1. Keep my armpits shaved during season. It really helps keep the B.O. down.
2. I always keep a bag of apples with me to help freshen my breath.
3. I take an old sock and fill it with baking soda. Than I shake it over each layer of clothes. If you doubt its effectiveness at absorbing odors just put an open box in a stinky refrigerator.

[:-]woa! How much fun is that when it's growin back![:@]


skeetr, yeah I do put a fat chew in!;) From what I've experienced thus far, they don't associate the smell with humans and on many occations(mostly with younger deer) it acts as an attractant. Seriously, I wouldn't yank your dank!:D
