Default What kind of cover scent do you use?

Just wanted to ask what everyone used as a cover scent. I've always threw my clothes in a garbage bag with pine nettles and acorns etc.

It depends on the area I'm hunting. I almost always use "Earth" scent, and then if I'm hunting in pines I'll throw on some pine scent, or apple scent if i'm hunting an orchard.

You have to go with your surroundings.

It wouldn't make sense to use a "Pine" cover scent if your hunting a cornfield.

I use earth and pine since dirt is everywhere and I mainly hunt in pine forests.

I usually use nothing at all, just hang my clothes out back for a week before the season starts. I guess you would call that a "Suburb Air" cover scent. However when I have it has been an earth spray or I've cut pine branches and put them in trash bags with my clothes. A hunting partner of mine put apples in his trash bag when he was hunting an orchard.

I use Scent-Killer. It really seems to work for me.

When you put your cloths in the drier, put your natural scents (dirt, peat, cedar, pine needles, acorns, etc…) in a sock and tie it shut and tossit in. That way the scent really gets into the cloth. Then leave the scent sock with the dry cloths in a trash bag to protect them.

I don't know if I'm allowed to give the brand name, but the scent is called "fall foilage" and it smells like wet leaves. It's good for where I hunt because there are tons of oaks and dense cover. Blend into the surroundings.

Keep 'em all in the Bull.

I put just a little dab of pure gum turpentine on the bottom of my pant legs. Works great, is cheap and lasts a long time. I hunt near pine thickets.
