What is your favorite scent removal for hunting?

Field and Stream did a study a few years ago and found that most scent covers don't work. Best thing is to be downwind of likely animal approaches.


Don't talk the talk if you didn't walk the walk.

I'd say hunting downwind. But I do spray on cover spray to possibly help out more. I buy the earth scent cover cause it smells like dirt, and I'm in public national forest usually hunting in different positions on ground.

I think, if you get upwind, they will smell you anyway. You can try, but the scent removal stuff never worked for me. I just try to play the wind to my favor.
If you smoke, use a cigarette. You can watch the smoke and see where the wind is blowing and swirling. I don't smoke anymore, so I use those talc wind direction indicator bottles. Someone on here once suggested a bottle of bubbles. I think that's an awesome idea.

I spray down with scent killer before I head out. However once I get to my area I spray my boot soles with coon pee and then spray all the trees around me from my ladder stand with coon pee as a cover scent.

By the time I walk to my spot I am usually sweating especially in bow hunting weather. I think hunting the wind and a good cover scent is your best bet.

I keep all of my hunting clothes in a Hunters Specialties scent bag all year with some fresh earth wafers thrown in. After several months in the bag it will take several washes to get the smell out. I also use the spray when heading in and again when I get to the stand.

Store your hunting clothes in Cedar branches in the bottom of a plastic tote. Keep the wind in your face or at a cross. That's what I do.

Thanks for the responses. I ended up purchasing Scent Killer for laundry detergent. I plan on buying a bag with the earth wafers to keep my hunting clothes in. Great idea.

Never bought into the scent cover / killer. The only thing that has proven scientific data is ozonics generator. I spend to much money on guns, ammo, optics, feed, blinds that are air tight, etc. to buy the ozonics.

There is a lot of convincing left to do for me to think that something I put in the tree about me kills all my scent. Not for me.

DO like the indians, sit in a TP with hot rocks in it until your sweating to death then run out the TP and jump in cold water.

Hiding scent from a deer is like hiding a dog biscuit from a bloodhound. Or blood from a shark.

Unless you've had your anus, taint, armpits, nose and mouth surgically removed, and don't shed dead skin cells or hair, they're gonna smell you.

store my clothes in a tub with a fresh cedar branch and some goat weed.


Adult late onset hunter. Why did I wait so long to get started?

Luckily, I live right near a processor. I have the guys cut tarsals off and it removes all scent I bring to the table. (It also makes my neck swell if I get too close to it)
