Scent Control

Recommended Posts

How big of a factor does scent control play in your success, or how big of a factor do you make it? I have a bin of hunting clothing (various layers and early-late season gear) that I typically wash with scent free detergent and dry with Dead Down Wind dryer sheets, but that's about it. Maybe a spray or two of autumn scent once I park.

What's your strategy?

I my clothes in scent free detergent and then I seal them up in a big plastic bag (it’s a vacuum seal bag but I don’t vacuum it) so that they don’t get any scents on them from my house.

I always wash with scent free soap the day before a hunt as well and then give my outer layer and the things I can’t wash like boots, pack, and hat a spray down with scent eliminating spray.

Have 3 plastic totes.  I wash as needed in scent away or sports wash.  I have put cedar limbs in the totes, there are cedars all over our property.  

When it's cold I usually put on my base layers by the door, then walk outside to put on my outer layer.  When it is warmer and I am wearing just one layer I usually get dressed outside.

I almost always take a shower before heading out, use saw soap and shampoo on my hair and dove unscented soap. I do use saw spray most of the time but not always.

I have gotten away with deer getting pretty close in swirling or shifting.winds, but have also gotten busted my fair share of times.
