I started out using baking soda for wash and storing in a plastic bag. Skunk for cover scent. Now I use no cover scent. I tend to agree with Jimmy S. If a deer gets in a scent stream from you to him, you are busted. The wind does funny things, so I think sometimes we think we are beating their nose when we are not.

I tried the scent stuff for a couple years. I could not tell the difference. Sometimes I was busted when they got downwind, sometimes I wasn't....whether I was using the stuff or not. I never wash my hunting clothes and just stay clean, am smart about the wind, and I'm every bit as successful as I need to be. I rarely put myself into a situation where I get busted. People get too into gadgets lately.
