You will always give off human scent no matter how clean you are. All you can do is try and keep down the foreign odors and some bacterial odors. I do wash myself and clothes in unscented soap but thats all. It's a waste of time thinking you will cover your scent.

Sometimes I shower with scent free soap. But as soon as you start into the woods, you start sweating and it all goes out the window. The best you can do is stay down wind.

I have to agree with you. Both bucks I've shot this year so far, I had to put my cigarette out before I shot. Of course, we have lots of forest fires earlier in the year (nearly every year), and people burn leaves all the time here so maybe they're just used to smoke... I don't know. While I'm sure my particular methodology won't work probably anywhere else, I really think it all boils down to being in the right place at the right time.
