I purchased a new scentlock hunting outfit for the season. I also bought new rubber boots and a scentlock full head mask. The reason was that I had new property and it looked really good. Well, the first three times I was busted and this was when the trees were still full of leaves. I then went with a hat and scent wafer and that helped but they were still walking around looking up at me. The clothing was washed prior to hunting and dried as recommended. It is also stored in a plastic container. My feeling is that scentlock is not all it is advertized to be. Tonight I made the recipe (baking soda/peroxide/distilled water & scentfree soap) and will be giving that a try asap. My question is where to spray the stuff. Should I spray my face and hair? Any advice would be appreciated.

It won't hurt your skin much ,
but I wouldn't spray it on your hair unless you want to look like a hussy . Peroxide is the main ingredient of nearly all cheap hair bleaches .

I've sat in a carbon suit and had deer walk upwind to me and calmly try to locate the persimmon smell I had near my feet . They didn't know that I was sitting in a black folding chair in front of them wearing ordinary Woodland camo even at 7 feet away until I moved . I suspect that your scent may not be the problem , movement or inadvertant sounds are probably the culprit .

Did you cough or scratch an itch , burp , fart ? How high was your stand ? Did it have good background breakup ? Deer key strongly on smell and movement when the threat isn't obvious to them . A small creak from your stand is enough for them to locate your position , and they'll keep looking until they get another stimulus that makes them bolt , or begin ignoring you . It takes surprisingly little to get their attention .
