RE: hunting soaps
In my experience, they do help in combination with laundry scent free non-UV brightening detergents and clothes/boot spray. Any of the major brands work as well IMO, ie Robinson Labs, Scent Away, Xscent.

RE: hunting soaps
Yes , they do . Simply using an unscented regular bar does about as well . It's the perfume in most bath bars that gets you nailed . I use HS soap with Triclosan , their bodywash also contains it .

RE: hunting soaps
I use the H.S. green body wash, and it works very well. I take a shower with it and wash my entire body the morning before the hunt. I also used it for washing before handling my traps, and after I caught an animal in the trapsI would wash the traps in a solution of the soap and water. It worked very well. If it will work for trapping foxes it will definetly work for deer hunting!

RE: hunting soaps
I have been using Ivory bar soap for years with no ill effects. I use unscented detergent, air dry in direct sunlight(if possible) and have always used unscented anti-perspirant. I worry more about the wind then anything else. Minimize your scent but personally believe the only way to 100% eliminatedetection is keep the wind off their nose!

RE: hunting soaps
I agree with what everyone here has said. Here's a link to some outstanding products that really work. http://www.kishelscents.com/special_buy.htm
These are the best I've ever used. I used their elk scents as well as their soaps last year and had numerous elk walk right to me and their deer scents work equally as well. Big thing is use as little of the perfume soaps as you can.
