Just curious what everyone uses. Please explain why you use it and how often.

Sent Killer from Wild Life Reshearch , why becuase it works.
I'll wash all of myhunting clothes using the Sent Killer clothing washand hang them outside to dry , then pack'em away in a air tight plastic tote.
When it's time to use them , I'll spray them down again with the Sent Killer spray andbefore I get to my stand.

I have always used a scent killer type of soap/shampoo in combination w/ Scent-Lok. It only makes sense to me.
I started using Dead Down Wind this past season. I was using several others, like Scent Killer from Wildlife Resaarchand X-Treme Hair and Body Wash, that seemed to work well.

The DDW seemed to be as good and I thought it "smelled" fresher, like fresh air if that's possible.

I ALWAYS spray down my bow,boots,safety harness and fanny pack before entering the woods. I'll use the DDW mouth spray instead of wearing a headcover to avoid getting sweated up.

I wash all of myhunting clothes using the Sent Killer clothing washand on the rinse cycle I add 1/3 of a box of baking soda. I then dry the clothing with Scent Killer Dry Earth dryer sheets and store in a plastic garmentbagor tote.
When it's time to go hunting Ispray my equipment and boots down with the Sent Killer spraybefore I head into the woods.

Atsko,economical and it works,The Scent Killer recipe that someone may kindly post is very effective and extremely reasonable.I also believe strongly in Hawgs Limited Vanishing Hunter.I did use a friends dead down wind foam this year while rifle hunting and I had no negative reactions.
I won't go through my scent control routine because like many of you it is rigorous and lengthy.The final step is to liberally spray myself down with one of the mentioned scent control products.

Last year I changed to Dead Down Wind, mostly out of curiosity from their marketing strategy.I am 100% convinced. I used the body and hair soap, deodorant, laundry soap, E3 field spray and the mouth spray. I had several instances last year where I had deer come in from DIRECTLY downwind of me. I would imagine there were deer that winded me that I never knew were there, but I saw things last year that just blew me away.

I saw more deer last year, and more bucks last year, than I have any previous season. That's not ALL due to DDW, but I do contribute that to some of it. I was simply amazed, and it's suppose to be even better this year.......I'm gonna find out.

I use all of Robinson's products (Scent Shield) including their clothes. I think all the products give you an advantage and I want every advantageI can get regardless how small it might be.
