Scent Control 101
Covering up your human scent is one of the most important factors in successful big game hunting. The first step to getting really clean and scent-free is taking care of the external portion of your body. In other words, good personal hygiene is a must. Before you go to the deer stand you will need to shower with a scent free soap and shampoo. Do not use just any soap or shampoo. Most soaps and shampoos carry a fragrance. We don’t want to go to the woods smelling all pretty. After your shower, you need to use some scent free deodorant or just do not use any deodorant at all before your hunt. Washing your clothes in a non-scented laundry detergent helps to eliminate all odors in your clothes. Your unscented laundry detergent should be phosphate-free and contain no UV brighteners. After your clothes are washed you need to dry them. There are some dryer sheets on the market that will give you a scent that is normally found in the woods. Scents such as pine tree and fresh earth are available. After your clothes are dry you need to store them in a container of some kind to keep all unnatural scents locked out. Washing your clothing and storing them in scent free containers is one of the easiest and most important steps you can take in the process of scent elimination. You should also use a scent free soap on your boots to wash them. You can store your boots with your hunting clothing in a scent free container. Always use a cover scent spray on the entire boot including the soles once your ready to start your trek through the woods. Apply it to your cloths too, Your tree stand and any other equipment you carry into the woods also needs to be scent free. Finally, there is now an easy and extremely effective way to eliminate odor from your breath. Believe it or not there is scent elimination gum that will eliminate your bad breath, smokers breath, and just plain scent emitted from your breath into the air.
It's not easy task to cover up all the human scent you carry with you, but the less noticeable your scent is, the more likely you will see wild game. But remember no matter how scent free you think you are, always hunt with the wind in your face.
