scent killer spray: Does it work?
Hey guys, I hope this hasn't already been debated a thousand times. I was just going through my hunting bags and ran across a bottle of "Scent Killer" Autumn Formula by Wildlife Research Center. I remember buying this spray last season but, apparently I forgot I had it because I never used it. Does anyone know if this stuff really works. I'd like some heads up befor I go and spray it on everything I own. I know a lot of people are going to recomment "Scent Lock" but thats just not an option for me right now. I bought this spray at Wal-Mart. Thanks.

It depends a lot on how the bottle was stored , some degradation is to be expected . If it still has it's Autumn Formula smell then it can at least serve as a cover scent though it may no longer be effective in the odor elimination department . It's composition should also be considered , if it's a baking soda-peroxide mix , which a lot of the commercial ones are ,it's probably gone flat . Adding a small amount of peroxide and baking soda should revive it , don't forget to leave the cap loose at first until it settles down. A scent eliminator with an L-Serine neutralizer may still be good , but there's only one way to find out ...

Thanks. The bottle has been inmy bag for a year now so, I'll prob. just pick up another one. Kevin you sure seem to know a lot about the subject. Do you use a spray or some type of scent lock? Cyberbuck do you spray it all over your clothing, equipment etc.. Do you spray it under your coveralls on your inner layer aswell. How long before going into the woods do you use it?

Save your money and keep buying the scent killer spray.I spray myself down with the autumn blend everytime I hunt. The last 2 deer I have killed have come from downwind and never spooked. Besides, I have heard a few comments about the scent suits only lasting for a few seasons, then the activated charcoal is no good. Not sure, but I do know that Scent Killer Spray works.

Secret Recipe - for your enjoyment

Mix it up, and let it sit for a while in a jug(2-3 days)

I think it works but it does not make up for good cleaning. I start by running a empty load with borax or baking soda then washing all my clothes in the same. I air dry them and then I place them in one of the vacume bags that you use on blankets. I also try and have some leaves from my lease to place in with them.
I do not put these on till I get to my lease and away from the truck. I also have snacks like apples that I eat and water. Works for me.
Good luck
