No budget constraints but I'm not rich either (or stupid). Thanks for the cost saving ideas and I always figured there was very little "product" in their product.

I could offer a few stories here about how and why I know it works, but lets just shorten it to the fact that 3 straight days in the woods will make any man (or woman) smell like an onion swimming in manure........spray this stuff on your pits and you'll become an instant plum.

Here's a homemade scent killer recipe I pulled off the internet at the beginning our last season. I've used it religiously and I haven't heard a snort all year. I was directly downwind at ground level on several occasions and was never winded. I also took my archery deer and can credit this stuff. I had leather boots on and had walked all over the area looking for a tree (first time I hunted that particular tree). I missed this deer on the first shot and it proceeded to circle downwind of me, nose high in the air. He never caught wind and I ended up getting a second shot that took him.

1 gallon distilled water (or clean creek water, just no chlorines or iodines in it)
1/2 box of baking soda
16 oz peroxide
2 shot glasses of Hunters Specialty green liquid soap

Pour out enough water from a gallon jug to get the other stuff in and let it fizz for a while after mixing (about 1 hour or the top will pop off). Then just transfer to a spray bottle and you're set.

128 oz cost about $4.50 vs $8-$10 for 16-32oz of some other fancy kind.

Other guys have tried it as well and say they've had success. I won't hunt without it again.
These paragraphs from an earlier post in this thread were written by me............oh, I'd say late last year sometime. It's a recipe I pulled off the Realtree.com forums and I stick by it today. My latest "tests" invlove the making of mock scrapes. I use this formula to cover my scent going in and I've had positive scrape responses so far.

I've heard reaction to this formula on Realtree, Eders, and this forum, and people who have tried it all believe it works well. Try it and post your results!

Happy hunting............Fritz.

Just wondering if anyone knows what the Peroxide does in the formula? I know what the purpose of the baking soda and water are, but I'm not sure on the peroxide?

The peroxide disinfects and kills many odor causing bacteria on humans. It kills most, but not all and that's what the green soap is for - to kill most of what's left.

The peroxide is also an oxidizer ,
high oxygen content neutralizes odors . Think Oxyclean .
