. Keep my armpits shaved during season. It really helps keep the B.O. down.
Leave it to the cheesehead to admit shaving his armpits.[]

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.
Speak for yourself , I spray my bow down before each hunt!

Shed how many bottles of vanishing hunter do you go through in a season?
I like most people have to brush my teeth in the morning, and i use a basic baking soda tooth paste, then have to eat a apple to try to take the scent down as much as possible. Not to say I am getting busted all the time because it, it is just a thought that crosses my mind when I do. Thanks for the reply.

Here in the South, during bow season ,being scent free is impossable.I do the scent free spray but then I have to add No Stinking Bug to stay still.The fresh earth scent seems to work great.Will it spook deer??hasn't yet.

I try to be as secent free as posible (using product's mentioned above) but like big bulls said when you cris cross a mountain several times in search of elk you are going to stink (if you think you can sit in one spot and call a heard bull in you are kidding yourself). So my sugestion is do all that you can to be secent free but work with the wind as well.

I stick to the same regiment that most do, but was wondering what people do to hide there bad breath?.
I use listerine strips.

I pretty much agree with Rack. I used to do the whole routine. The new wore off of it and now I just wash my cothes in scent free detergent and store them in a rubber maid container and I shower. I use scent killer in the early part of the season and that's about it. I haven't noticed any differnce in my sightings (well I actually am seeing more deer the last couple of years) or "bustings". I think people should do whatever gives them confidence.

Scent free?

Yea, I roll out of bed after going to the bar all night gargle with beer and light a smoke and go out on stand

Only after I get halfway to my stand and have to take a nature s**t then step in it by accident[8D]

I think I am scent free

Not real far. I use some of the scent spray stuff. Hell, I used to smoke cigarettes on the stand years ago and I still killed deer. Hunt the wind and you'll do better than to believe your scent free.

I do agree that it doesn't hurt and may actually help some, but I don't have the time nor the money for the scent free clothing.

Just my 2 cents.

I follow the same strict regiment the others use.
I also eat apples before i go hunting to get rid of bad breath and drink apple juice and/or water on stand.
I spray all my equipment down every time i have touched it without my hunting gloves...
I have yet to be winded.
I do not use scent-lok.
I use cover scents, too. my clothes/equipment are packed in pine and cedar.
I spray with coon urine just before climbing into my stand.
