Do most of you use odor killing sprays before you go into the woods? I have used them for years. I just hope they work like the producers say they do. If you do use it do you prefer the odorless or fresh earth type?

I use scent away, The body soap and I was my clothes in Baking soda, I dont get fancy, I use the wind to my advantage, I like the fresh earth scent wafers and spray. i use the dryer sheets by scent away but I dont use them in the dryer. I put them in My duffel bag and store my clothes in it along with leaves as well that i collect when the start falling. I also grind up acorns and put them in there as well. I am a ground hunter, I scrape the earth up and put it on me.

Last deer I shot was 7 yards from the ground with a bow.

I use nothing but the wind. If it isn't right I'll hunt some place else or stay at home. Luckily I have plenty of places to hunt. It's funny to me one of the scent cover sellers has an advertisement that boast of covering "repicated human odor at Rutgers University". You would think that somebody at Rutgers would have natural human odor they could cover up............ When they prove they can beat the nose of a bloodhound in independent test I'll start believing in their products......

I use the soap, laundry detergent, and play the wind.

Here is a great little test that Deer & Deer hunting did and scent away was far and away the best. I would still let me cloths dry outside though and of course keep the wind in your favor the best you can.

I've used Scent-A-Way before, both odorless and autumn, but switched to baking soda in the wash and an ozone generator in the closet where I store my hunt clothes several years ago.

while the scent killers help, the best scent control is playing the wind. i took 3 doe this year and each time it was within 30 min. of smoking a cigarette sitting against a tree with no cover. each time (actually every time i hunt) i always play the wind. that is by far about the best advice i can give you along with pick a spot and don't move.
