Scent Elimination
In the world of deer hunting, there are several things that could change your hunting success. Scent elimination is a key factor that you need to pay close attention to. First, you need to think about your human odor and ways to control it.
You need to start off with a good shower with a human scent eliminator. Then apply a non scented deodorant to help keep the odor down. When you get to your hunting spot, spray down with a liberal amount of scent eliminating spray. Also you need to think about your clothes. There are several products on the market that will help with your clothes as well as with your human scent.
When you are preparing for your hunt, be extra careful not to get your clothes around anything that will cause your clothes to stink in the deer woods. I would not start cooking a big breakfast before you go into the woods, and if you do, make sure you spray down heavily before you hunt. If you have to stop and get gas on the way to woods, then change your shoes before you get to the gas pumps. You may be very careful not to spill gas out on the ground, but how many other people are not. People don’t understand that their pets are also a big scent problem, whether you wash your pet everyday or once a year, they stink in the woods. If you think about scent in every thing you do, then you will increase your odds in hunting.
Once you wash your clothes, there are several things you can do to keep your clothes scent free. You can put your clothes into a scent tight bag so nothing else gets on your clothes. I’ve also heard of guys putting cedar or pine limbs into their container after they wash their clothes so when they open it up it smells like the cedar or pine.
TIPS FOR SCENT ELIMINATION
- Always keep in mind a deer’s nose is his #1 sense. You need to find a scent eliminator that works well for you. They are several companies that make good products, so try a few and make sure you use them come hunting season.
- You should wear a different pair of shoes while driving in to where you hunt and change shoes when you get to there. If you stop for breakfast or stop for gas, you might get that smell on you, so spray down very well before you go into the woods.
- I know people kill deer every year while smoking, but if you are worried about your scent then remember to spray down before you hunt.
- Always hunt with the wind in your favor. This will also help you control your scent.
- Take an extra shirt, if you have a long walk in, so you can change when you get to your hunting spot. This will help keep your scent down and also keep you dry.
