RE: Leather and scent
smoke it first. The American Indains smoked all the buck skin to help cove there scent. have a nice smoky fire going and place it over it so it doesn't get burned but can get the smoke smell in it.

RE: Leather and scent
I've been known to warm up some mink oil over low heat til it melts, mix in cedar oil and used that concoction rubbed that into my leather goods to cover the chemical smell. (Hint: Don't use your wife's good cookin' pot for that kinda stuff
) If I hunted around pine trees, I'd just use Montana Pitch Blend on my leather. It already smells like pine. I also put cedar shavings from the pet store or Wally World in the bottom of my quiver to help keep my broadheads from clanking into each other and add more cedar scent.
No matter what you do you're still gonna stink though, so best course of action is to hunt into or across the wind.

Thanks for that tip I will use it this season

RE: Leather and scent
Never used it on a bowstring, Bob, though I've heard of it being done. I've always got plenty of string wax handy. But my guess is it'd work just fine and definitely smell better. Wish they made the stuff in Port Orford cedar scent though.
