Unscented clotes soap. Scent free, anti bacterial bath soap - Dial for example. Lott of my hunting is done is relatively warm weather, especially early bow season. By the time I get to my stands and get set up I can be sweating up a storm. I pack a gallon sized zip lock bag of "paper rags" soaked in rubbing alchohol. After getting set up, once I cool off some, I'll wipe off my face & neck, arms, and lowr legs ... putting the rag back in the ziplock. I have recenly started spraying down my outer clothing with "Dead Down Wind". Not sure how well all of this this works, but seems to help. However the bottom line for me on scent mitigation .... stay down wind or move.

In addition, don't underestimate the scent-killing ability of the ozone in fresh air. To begin with, wash your clothes in scent-free detergent and then let them hang out in the fresh air for a few days. After a hunt, again hang them in the fresh air. I generally only wash my clothes again if I get very sweated up in them. Ozone is a natural scent-killer. Not to push another "gizmo" but I would bet an ozone-generating air purifier would do a great job on scent removal in clothes. I also use a scent-killer product and sometimes use natural cover scents like pine or cedar needles rubbed into the clothes or stored with the clothes in a bag. And hunt the wind!!

Growing up, I remember some of the local dairy farmers wearing clothes reeking of barn smell - these guys always did quite well hunting, although these were longer range rifle shots, not close range archery shots. So the dairy cow cover scent seemed to work for them, at least during the gun season.

Shines Acorn Cover Scent! You may have heard of this if you live in Central bama. They are a smalll company ran by two or three guys that do all the work. Their spray smells just like whiteoak acorns, its a very sweet smell and it really spikes the deer couriosity... Mix a good cover scent like this with the scent-away system and you rele increase your odds imo. Obviously do all you can to stay down wind, but you cant always tell where the deer are gunna come from
