Scent Control Routine for Deer

I spray myself in synthetic doe urine.. I know it stinks like @$$ but hey.. The bucks never know what hits them... I got no problem bringing them into 5,yards..

I hunt high........23-24 feet........scent is long gone,,,,,,,keep my clothes in a rubbermaid bin with baking soda,,,use common sense

Time to post this again.....good read.

No idea if this helps or not

But I always hunt the wind and seem to do just fine

2x that. Had mold all over my stuff from doing that one year. Now I get cedar fence boards and cut them to fit the inside of my rubber maid bins, no moisture to get moldy and you get the added benefit of moth control (if you have wool clothing).

Do you think that your gear doesn't also smell like bags, totes, rubber maids, when storing in such things??

Wash my clothes in HSS soap, hang dry and store in bin with several baking soda boxes. Wash myself with Primus non scented soap, use pit stick, dress in hunting clothes in the field. Keep gear scent free as possible and spray down with scent killer gold, rubber boots as well. Does this all work? Who the hell knows, have talked to guys who rush to the stand after work end of day, throw coveralls on over work clothes and arrow a deer at 15 yards. I'd just prefer to make sure I've done what I can after all the work put in scouting etc.

When youre above 20ft + in tree stand you can get away with murder (pun intended). But like others have indicated, playing the wind is numero uno. All the rest is simply marketing, IMHO.

Save your money to buy sharp broadheads and warm boots.
