scent block

[bckklr]

well whats ya'lls opinions does scent block clothing make that much of a difference & what about the spray? i wear the clothes & dang near drink the spray what about ya'll?

[Robert Rowland]

I have never heard of anyone doing too much for scent cover.  In order to keep my hunting budget under control, I also use the spray and I think it works well combined with the soap, the gum, and other scents.

As far as the wife moaning and groaning---that would take a whole other website and more time than I have to get it all off my chest.
I agree with everything you said about scent control. I do the same stuff, but I also recall when I was young and hunting without any scent control, nobody to teach me hunting, and little knowledge of deer behavior, I still had pretty good luck. But that is just what it was, LUCK.

3 days before season I start bathing in scent killer and use it right up to christmas...clothes are all washed special and often then left to hang outside in a dry breezy area....I do soak a bandana with essence of fall and dry clothes with that....eat less meat and drink more apple juice..stay clear of garlic and onions for all the scent killer in the world won't keep those to from sweating out of me [&:]....cover scent...I walk through my goats paddock to pick up the smell of there urine....I've wachted deer come in on my trail like blood hounds on a scent....walk through fresh deer piles when I see them as well..then walk a circle round my stand through the shooting lanes.

Wash the clothes.
Briefly in the dryer, but then outside to finish.
Rubber boots.
Bathe the body good no scented soaps or anything.

I always wonder about our breath though. Pine flavored gum? Chew on some pine needles in the stand?
 
I can't warrant the cost for scent blocker clothing. Just the spray for me.


Oh and if only the darn city would allow me to have a goat pen in my backyard [8D]

eat apples for your breath i peel em first and save the peels.i here chewing parsley also works,never tried it

I bathe every moring before I hunt, and if I come back to camp and cook anything, I remove my outerware, and I wash my hair and head before I go back out.
 
I keep all my outerware clean, and in a Rubbermaid sealable tub that I have a cachet bag of hardwood leaf duff in. My clothes smell like an October woods.
 
My hunting footgear is worn ONLY when I'm in the field, and I don't put my boots on until I step out of my truck, and they come off before I get back in.
 
I also take chlorophyll tablets starting about a month before the season starts, and then throughout the season. I have ground hunted exclusively for the past 5 years, and I can count on one hand the number of times I've been "busted" over the past 30 years.
 
I do not own, and have no intention of owning carbon suits, as I believe they are an expensive "gimmick", that while maybe giving a hunter a sense of confidence (which is a GOOD thing), are NOT what they are promoted as. The fact that the fabric that they use is somewhat impervious probably has more real effect on how they work anyway.
 
I have MANY other ways of spending several hundred dollars!!!

I have used the soap and laundry setergent but never bought the spray. Think I might try it this year. I also put my hunting clothes in a blag plastic bag and put them outside with apples or fresh leaves and dirt at the bottom. The best cover scent I have used and its free.
