jbaker Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 I don't go over when it comes to scent control. I do pay attention to certain things like washing my camos with sport wash, hanging them out side on the line to dry and keeping them in a separate duffle bag along with my boots. If anyone else does this, here is a tip you might find helpful if you still have concerns about scent control and dont want to spend $$ on sprays and such. When you are out scouting or hanging stand early, take a small bag with you, gather up scented stuff fron the woods such as walnuts (while they are still green), pine cones, pine branches( not too big, they need to fit in the duffle bag),leaves,acorns, whatever is in your hunting area. even soil. take all that and line the bottom of your clothing bag. It seems to work really well. I use mostly green walnuts and roll them up in my clothes weel before the season. Good luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gahuntingirl2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Well I have found that sometimes natural just doesn't do the job. I use natural as well as a spray. Dead-down wind really works. I have actually stopped using stuff from the woods and just Dead-down Wind. I wash my camo with no laundry detergent and then spray them with it. Then I put them in a trash bag till I go to the woods the next morning. I take them out, dress, and spray as soon as I get to the parking spot in the woods. Then I spray again in the stand. It works wonders. I've had a nice 8 point come right behind me and never see me or smell me and the wind was extremely bad for hunting in that spot that day. If anything works, its Dead-down Wind!
