RE: seasons over, your huntin clothes
I have a seperate closet for my hunting clothes, nothing else goes into the closet but my hunting gear and a box of baking soda. The closet is in a room that has none of the wife's pretty little smelly things in. She has that stuff all over the house but it is strictly forbidden in this room. I wash my clothes in a hunters wash even in the off season for deer.( when they are used for small game hunting.)

Well once I get them washed in plain water with some baking soda I am putting mine in a plastic container in the crawl space under my house or out in my shed with some pine boughs.

I wash mine is scent free soap with a subtle buck attractant. I often find bucks in my laundry room doing the wash. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
I store the clothes in a cedar lined chest throughout the year.
Hunting is a right, treat it like a priviledge - respect nature

I use my hunting clothes all year round. When they get washed, it is in scent-killing soap with no UV brighteners. Before deer season, they get washed again. When not actually being worn, they are kept in a large tupperware container in the basement along with some dried oak leaves.

Wash them in a scent free hunting soap. then place them in cedar chips, layer of chips then clothes, then chips, then clothes. Can be a little messy ( chips ). I use a closet that is lined in cedar, it has a 2 foot board in the doorway to keep the chips in. I lay them on the floor. The clothes have a real strong cedar smell when I take them out of storage. It works, deer have not busted me because of smell in years.
