That MAY work if you are hunting very close to a blooming mint patch and I stress the word MAY. Otherwise the deer are going to pick up on a scent not native to their habitat and high tail it out of that section. Cover scents or "masking" scents do not generally work. They may help a small bit in delaying the warning but not very much. Wind is both your friend as well as your enemy. Odor neutralizers with anti bacterial agents in them are better as they destroy the actual "odor" molecules that the deer's olfactory system picks up and detects. They nor anything else is 100%.

.Patricia, unless you do not breath, you will never hide your scent from deer. Using mint soap while hunting in an area that does not have mint is introducing a foriegn odor to the area and it will not cover all human scent. I will leave it at that.

I do nearly all my deer hunting in CO. Since there isn't any wild patches of mint anywhere near that, I'm fairly certain that any deer would immediately go on the alert when they smell it.

If there was mint in the air where I hunt why would I need to wear it?
