. Keep my armpits shaved during season. It really helps keep the B.O. down.
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.

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 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.
