Hi nobucks, how ya feeling ?
I always wanted to buy some of that scent-blocker stuff. But I just dont see how it works as well as they say it does. I always had it in the back of my mind that the carbon can only filter so much before it becomes ineffective. Also, i've read that to truely reactivate carbon, you have to heat it way hotter than a dryer gets... So, I just dont know on scent-control clothing.
The odor elimination stuff on that website looks interesting. Currently, I use the "Scent-Away" stuff from h s strutt i think. Most mornings, sometimes the evening before) before I go hunting, I always shower with scent free soap, use the scent-free deodorant, and use the scent-away spray when I get in the field.
I keep all my hunting clothes, boots, and gear in a cedar lined closet., and wash them in the "scent away" detergent.
When I'm in my stand, a lot of times I will get some pine needles and crush them with my knife or edge of a piece of wood, and wipe it all over my clothes. It does help, that pine odor is STRONG.
While I have had deer wind me and run off, MOST of the time what happens is the deer smell "something" but can't quite figure me out. They usually dont run off, but will go on "alert" for a minute or two then relax...
Thanks for the link nobucks. I may have to try that stuff out.
