Being Scent Free

RE: Being Scent Free
Wash everything. I even take clean hose and fill it with aquarium charcoal to place inside my rubber boots between hunts.
After showewring I sprinke baking soda all over especially in my hair.

RE: Being Scent Free
It's a game of percentages, so I like to stack the odds in my favor. I wash every item of clothing I plan to wear, down to socks and underwear in scent-free and UV-free detergent. I shower before hunting whenever possible using scent-free soap (which doubles as my shampoo when I'm hunting). I use scent-free deodorant and even rub it on my back, chest and arms, especially around the areas near the opening in my clothes (wrists, neck, etc.). I also spray scent killer on each layer of clothing I put on, including the insides and outsides of my hunting boots, which I use for nothing else and neverwear indoors.I alsospray a little scent killer on the top of my head, since I tend to sweat there.
Also, at the beginning of the season, I soak my backpack in scent-free detergent sudded water, then store it in a contractor-strength plastic bag.
Call me obsessed, but I see lots of deer and almost never get busted because of scent. And I don't use scentlok.

RE: Being Scent Free
I do all.. towels washclothes, all clothing. I store it all in a scent free bag or a rubbermaid tote. It comes right out of the dryer into storage. I also switch to scent free detergents and dryer sheets for he regular laundry as not to stink up the machines.
