Thanks for some great tips. I also take pine and cedar and put it in my bacg. It works great and makes my hunting clothes smell like pine which is a natural smell. I have had deer at 10 yards down wind and they never knew I was there. Thanks again for a great site. Im a subscriber!
I just want to point out, that you do everything you can to minimize the odors you put off, from your own human scent, to the smell of gas and exhaust. You even wait until you get to the hunting location to dress in your camo. However, you sit on the tailgate of a vehicle, which is one of the most polluted parts of a vehicle, as the exhaust fumes settle on and around the rear of all vehicles. This makes anything you have done up until that point to prevent odor, moot. I have found that the best solution to prevent outside contamination is to wear your camo, but over it wear a rainproof suit. I keep everything that isn't covered by the rain suit in a air tight bag until I get there. I take off the rain suit, put on my boots, cap, and other items needed, spray down with scent elimination spray, and make my way to my location. The Rain Suit I use for travel is not the same one I use for hunting.
Hey Logan, Looks like we do alot of the same thing. As a helpful suggestion I have found Ziploc makes bags XXL big They run about $7 for 3 bags in a box at Wal-Mart. Also I take with me and have found that they work really well is unscented baby wipes to wipe off my sweat in early bow season here in NE Mississippi. I also spray my bow and stand with scent killer and wipe my arrows with the baby wipes before going into the woods. Again just some suggestive tips, keep putting out the good word.
@Mortaxe not really but in a sense yes. i like to use scent free gun oil. n when i clean my firearm, i let it sit and air out for a couple days. i.e. i wouldn't clean it the night before i go hunting, but i could oil the action with the scent free oil just before going hunting.
I am going hunting with crossbow next weekend here in southern ohio for the first time. I was going to take my jetboil stove and some dehydrated food, mountain house brand, and eat that for lunch etc... do you think that is okay? Or what would you recommend? I have a small popup blind I bought last year, and I plan to set that up when I get there early in the morning. Any issue drinking coffee etc in the blind?
A hunter and his friend that is a biology teacher did resewarch on the effect of these products on killing odor causing bacteria and the 100% scent away came out on top by killing almost 2X what the next best product was.
Would it be ok to use hypoallergenic dryer sheets to dry the clothes? Every place is out of the ones geard towards hunters, and its raining like hell.....
And ozone machine is the best tape off room or closet n use ozone generator kills all sent making everything smell like hung dry don't forget your tree stand
Scent Elimination is not always such a big deal. I got a doe one morning while I was smelling of beer, cigarettes and all sorts of "Humanity" things. I'd gone drinking the night before in Austin on their "famous 6th street". So many bars, so many thousands of people, walking on all sorts of filth. This was back when you could smoke in clubs, so the floors were covered in cigarette ash as well as spilled drinks of every sort. Around 3AM I got into my truck and headed out, drove 2.5 hours to the spot still wearing the same clothes, plus a red nylon (and noisy) jacket. I stumbled around until I found the deer blind, sat down and waited for sun up. Coughing, stinking, falling asleep.. shuffling my feet to stay warm and thinking "what the hell am I doing here like this?" Sure enough, up walks a Doe who apparently had nothing to live for. I did everything wrong and she still stood there waiting to be shot. So yeah, you can spend your fancy money on getting fancy laundry detergent if you like. I'm less inclined to buy into these things.
After watching your video I think I just might have a successful hunting season. Thanks Logan.

When using a dryer make sure the lint trap is clean fresh earth dryer sheets work pretty good also
great video, a lot of quality information. i'm going to try putting on everything when i get to the timber.
I love this video, especially as a novice hunter! But I have to ask, where did you get your hat?
Great information, thank you very much for sharing!
If you're using a rifle, do you worry about the smell of gunpowder spooking any prey? How do you deal with that?

I take a bunch of leaves and dirt and put them in a permeable bag and store it with my clothes in a large rubbermaid tub in the garage.
I did that once with pine boughs. I was covered with mites and could even go hunting.
Yikes peter thanks for the heads up on that!

My family would probably appreciate it if I did something similar.
I used to use all, and purex free and clear. ALL of your commercial detergents have UV brighteners. Get the stuff formulated for hunters.
wow, im not the only one who deecents, good
Another winner thanks again for tip
