Scent Killer!! I have used in for years in TX, WY, NM, CO, Can. The stuff works for me.

I really hunt the wind, rub myself with live cedar and use it to brush in pop up sets. But I also use Dead Down Wind and it has not let me down yet

A good bath.

Scent killing products are a farce, plain and simple. Scent Blocker has already been sued at least once for faulty advertising. As Always read 2 hunt said, playing the wind is the ticket.

I'll 2nd the rubbing of fresh cedar limbs and I also keep all my bow hunting camo inside a cedar chest. You'll need to really like the smell of cedar because it's very strong when stored this way.

Naturally the best is being downwind

Nose Jammer. They sell it at Walmart now. It's not so much a scent eliminator as it is a disruption to a deer's olfactory senses. If you doubt it, spray some on a paper towel and take a big whiff (actually, I wouldn't- LOL) I'll spray it on the roof of a pop-up blind or at @ 6ft up on the tree / leaves if I'm in a tree stand. Buddy that guides up in Kansas turned me onto this 2 years ago. Solid product, IMO. It does help if you take other precautions such as using an unscented laundry detergent for your clothing. Nothing beats a quick shower with unscented soap before you head out to hunt, if that's an option. I've always liked the Hunter Specialties Fresh Earth spray if you're looking for something to spray down with.

Not a spray, but a good wind is very effective when you put yourself in the right place.

Wind

For you guys who believe in this scent killing technology.......

Take a dump in the middle of your living room, spray it down with scent killer, ozonics, whatever.......see what happens.

I don't know how it works with feces but then again I don't shart myself when I hunt. I've sprayed some less than desirable smelling garments with it before and it certainly made a difference. If you don't believe it helps, don't buy it. Invest that whopping $5 expense into your 401k.

Guys who don't use any of those extra measures probably have little to no time in tree stands. It makes a difference when the conditions become less than optimal. Some believe, some do not, as for me I choose the extra steps for a successful hunt.

A friend of mine in MT trains dogs for police for the canine units to sniff out drugs and such. He's done extensive testing on the scentlok type stuff and has proven it makes very little, if any difference. I'll take that $5 and buy a can of Copenhagen, thank you very much.

Cow poop. It works.

You dismiss the scent altering products but not the warnings of certified healthcare professionals on the impacts from using lip tobacco? I shut that stuff down 5 years ago after realizing I was ignoring the obvious. Wish I would have wised up earlier.

I will just take your word for it.
Our little 15 pound house dog went and rolled in some fresh buffalo poop, he was white before the incident. I was told it is an instinct to cover their scent. It worked, good.

Whatever Michael Waddell tells me to buy every year.

And cigars help you figure out which way it's blowing.

I am bias now as I shot 2 Bucks last season (1 in TX and 1 in MO) and didn’t bring any scent killler or shower in the stuff. Let my clothes stay outside and played the wind to my advantage. But I did just witness my Brother In Law purchase a good $1000+ worth of Scent-Lok and all the BS they had to go with it today. Really enjoyed helping him spend his money. He even purchased the vehicle Ozone plug in and he hunts out of a box blind. 🤷‍♂️

The wind. It's free.

Went camping at the lake years ago and my buddies dog rolled all in a dead fish to cover her scent. It probably worked for her against other predators and her prey. I can assure you it will get you tied to a tree 50 yards away for 3 days.

Honestly can't say whether the stuff works or not because I've never tried it. I have never felt that sticking to the basics of respecting a deer's nose by honoring the wind and thermals has limited my success or those that came before me. A manufacturer or distributor's financial compensation could likely change my approach. For the right money I would soak my clothes and bathe in the stuff. Today's hunting shows, where the overriding purpose of the host, is to become a frontman for a myriad of hunting products and gear, have sold hunters on more than one questionable product. The best of the hosts can be pretty convincing......

There are few hunting shows where I would even trust the person or what they sell simply based on the poor shots, poor age guesses, lack of tracking in the dark, etc, etc, so I take what I see on TV with a grain of salt. If I need a hunting video fix, I much prefer the youtube videos of hunters and their lack of sale pitches.

Don't mind watching a good fishing show every once in a while though
