RE: Money saving measures for hunting season
How do you get the baking soda to dissolve completely? I have tried this and the spray nozzle gets plugged.
ORIGINAL: JoeRE
I use a combination of of distilled water, baking soda, and peroxide. I only use an approximate recepe, heat two gallons of the water up and dissolveone box ofbaking soda, then when it is cool add one bottle(2 cup) of peroxide--Ihave added more thanthat but itdoes not seem to make it more effective and just costs more for a tightwad like me. Keep in a cool dry envoronment, I am no chemist but it seems not to work if heated (even in ahot car) after peroxide is added. It seriously works, I take some sweaty garment,spray it down well, and when it it dry give it the sniff test...no smell! I know my nose is not a deer nose however, and they still can detect me under certain conditions.
I also use strait baking soda in my boots and as a substitute for deodorant. I keep a bottle with me at all times, I dust myself down if I break a sweat...and it it great for showing wind direction.
What I want to figure out is a way to make your own GAC spray. any ideas???? I have tried grinding up charcoal but it makes a royal mess and is only limitied in quality. Keeps plugging up the spray bottle too

Your own scent cover, huh? Could you explain how you do this? I've had the idea before but didn't even know where to start...

Save up your money and buy all of your new stuff after Christmas when everything is on clearance.

Probably the best advice so far, IMO. I hit up Walmart/Kmart/Meijer in January. Gloves, hats, socks, scents, tools, treestands, climbing sticks, etc...all for at least ½ off. I've found Earth Scent spray, andEarth Scent and Doe Estrous waffers for 75¢ in late January at these places. That's $6 cheaper than right now.
