VTbowman Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 I read all about the different things folks do to prep there camo in the pre-season. From washing to leaving them outside for months. What do you do with your camo when you've hunted all day and plan to hunt the very next morning and even as well? I still like to hang mine outside if weather permits. If its going to be rainly, or heavy dew, then I hang them just inside my garage with the door open to still get the benifit of airing out. I take care to store lubricants, oils, etc inside closed cabinets and dont run any sort of motors in there at all. For over night I feel this is ok. If its super cold out I bag them inside a lawn and leaf sized bag and keep them warm just inside the door of the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksdeerhunter03 Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Re: What do you do with your camo after a days hun I use Scent-Lok so it goes in the scent bag and then the dryer for about 45 min, back in the scent bag until the next hunt.

buffett1 Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Re: What do you do with your camo after a days hun I just spray it a bit and toss back in the bag. That is if I haven't sweat through it and need to wash 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tecumseh Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Re: What do you do with your camo after a days hunt? If I did'nt sweat I hang them out side and spray them in earth scent cover spray when I head back out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Re: What do you do with your camo after a days hunt? Hang mine outside to air out. A couple of days out in the sun will clear the sweat smells out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyBucks Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Re: What do you do with your camo after a days hunt? If I didn't sweat much I'll hang them out and spray them with a scent eliminator before going in the woods. If it's raining I'll put them in the tote and spray them when I hit the woods.

camelNS Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Re: What do you do with your camo after a days hunt? I usually have them in a bag with spruce branches about a couple weeks to a month before the season.My clothes go back into a plastic bag filled with spruce branches.I also spray them with scent away and then earth cover scent before and after a hunt.Its not to hot here so no need to worry about the sweat factor as much.Its not totally scent free but i believe it helps.They also get washed in baking soda a couple times a season.

[/ QUOTE ] Same here. If they got sweaty, they get set aside to get washed. If it is a morning hunt and I plan to hunt the afternoon, do sometimes leave clothes haning from a tree out in the yard.

GWSmith Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Re: What do you do with your camo after a days hunt? I wash and dry them if I plan on using that exact set the next day. There's really no need though since I could start a used camo clothing store with what I own...Except it would all be in one size The only thing that does not go into the washer is the HSS Harness/Vest and it's been sprayed down with Scent Away and it's on the front screened porch.
