Scent Killer

[Hoytman66]

There are so many Deer Scent Killer sprays on the market, like. Scent Killer Gold and so on. Is there one that out does the others or are they all alike, none better than the other? Does it really work?

Thanks

Dunno, think most do about the same. I use regular scent away most often. Sometimes get deer walk in from downwind and are clueless then sometimes have them hang up 100 yards out with very light wind.

Honestly, the best thing that works for me is a 10 minute hot shower with absolutely no soap the night before. I wash my clothes in baking soda and then let them hang dry outside.

I've used just about every product on the market. What I can tell you is the scentless bar soap is the absolute worst!! I have been busted so many times using that, in my opinion, it should be illegal. Nothing more frustrating than total and complete scent discipline using scentless bar soap and getting busted just about every time.

I've used several types of sprays and I can't say they worked or didn't work. Never had a time where I used it and a deer walked downwind of me. I also can't remember ever getting a deer after spraying myself down with that stuff.

Can use baking soda to shower with too. The saw green liquid i think does pretty good for a soap to wash away any odor causing household scents or bacteria. I almost always shower morning before i walk out.

I think I probably could use baking soda - I'm thinking about it now... I think I may have tried it back in the day, I think it began to clump up a bit and worked more as an exfoliator. I used baking soda in my boots one time and those boots shrank almost 2 sizes in a few months - they were not rubber boots. Had to toss them.

Keep a reasonable level of personal cleanliness/hygiene and pay attention to the wind.

All you need to do.

No fabric softener for towels or bedsheets during hunting season.  I do use scent away liquid soap, figure gotta use soap anyway and it can usually be found on clearance at wally world at the end of the season for little or no more than regular soap or shampoo would cost you.
