Scent Control

RE: Scent Control
i was my clothes in scent-away detergent...put them in a scent free plastic bag with baking soda to neutralize any odor.....then i spray them with scent-away spray.....then i spray my gear down.I always hunt a stand only when the wind direction is right.
Oh yeah.....i dont go walking around wal-mart, gas stations, fast food places, or the bow shop with my hunting gear on EVER! It cracks me up when people do this....unless they plan on washing their clothes when they get home.

I check the weather to see which way the wind is blowing.

RE: Scent Control
I'm going to invent scent free gun oil and gun powder. I think I could make millions off from it.
I don't believe that deer equate human scent with danger, but they don't the smell of guns and gun powder. Just doesn't make sense to me at all.
And you would think they would equate the smell, sound and sight of vehicles with danger, but from the looks of the roads in my area it doesn't phase them one bit. They stand right in the middle of the road or run out in front of you.
I honestly believe movement and noise screw you more than scent does.

RE: Scent Control
the easyest thing you can do is store your hunting clothes somewhere seperate from other clothes . i have a closet just for camo. before the season i will wash everything ,air dry and cut some fresh cedar hunks and put in with them. use what ever is in your hunting area ,lots of cedars where i hunt.
i use a spray called ODORLOCK during bow season i keep a big bottle in my truck and a small spray bottle in my pack,the key is use it.if its hot and i'm sweaty iuse it hourly. as the season goes on into gun i stop worrying about scent control as much. hunting on farms,step in some cow poop,the deer smell it all the time. i have use freshearth cover also.use what is natural to your area.
