Default Foul Breath

I have a question to ask all of you in this day of scent control technology. Do any of you do anything special with your breath when you go out into the woods, & if so what do you do or use? Is using a breath freshener a bad idea when your going out to hunt, is it better just to go out with morning breath? We do so much to control every other aspect of our scent, but have never heard any ideas for this.

Get your kids in the woods & off the streets !!

I breathe through my nose. I've always felt that it reduces the scent. Other then that I'm not sure.

If I'm in an area with some fruit trees nearby, I'll chew on an apple. Otherwise I too try to breath through the nose.

use baking soda, i use it everytime i go out in the mornings or any time i hunt, parsley works too but don't brush your teeth with it, sucking on a penny works too.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

You guys are getting carried away with gimmicks!!! Look at it this way, IF THEY ARE DOWNWIND THEY WILL SMELL YOU!!!!!!! The higher in a tree you are helps unless there is a downdraft, then it means nothing...a deer 15yds from your tree stand will not wind you as easy as one 50yds away, your scent passes over them at close range.
Do what you always do, stay clean,use a little deodorant, some soaps are real strong, I try to stay away from things like Irish Spring.
