what do you do to eliminate and control your scent.

Scent Blocker SLT as my outer layer, rubber boots and Dead Down Wind (detergent, deodorant, soap, spray and body foam).

I keep my clothes in a plastic bag with activated charcoal.
Bath in the morning with scent free soap. Spray with scent eliminator. Dress. Spray down my clothes. Leave early, walk slow, don't sweat. Spray down again. Hunted natural blinds for 15 years that way. That way I could shift with the winds.

if you shift with wind you dont need much scent eliminator. if you hunt from one stand it doesnt hurt to spray some one (i use dead down wind) before the hunt and sometimes periodically throughout the hunt

True, but I don't want to risk contamination when I move. I maybe hunting the spot I just previously sat in.

Wash my clothes in scent free detergent and put them in bags (spray down the inside with scent killer). Wash my body in scent free anti-bacterial soap before going out. Use scent free gel deodarant under armpits, behind knees,butt crack, and anywhere else where sweat could accumulate. I wear a coverall on my way out to the stand that I strip off when I start walking (leave it at the 4 wheeler). The coverall is to keep out smells from the ride out. When I get on the ground I spray everything down with a scent eliminator. I'm trying a home made one out this year that I saw in Field and Stream. Made a half gallon yesterday for about 3.50 worth of ingredients.

I have yet to try it in the butt crack. I would think that would be more of an attractant then a scent eliminator

I START OUT WITH GOOD INTENTIONS... THE FIRST WEEK I WASH MY CLOTHES IN SCENT FREE DETERGENT THEN PACK THEM IN A BOX WITH SOME CUT CEDAR LIMBS. BUT I STILL SMOKE LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN IN THE BLIND. FOR BOW SEASON I'LL USE SOME SKUNK SCREEN. BACK IN THE DAY I USED TO PUT IT DIRECTLY ON MY BOOT AND HAD A DOE WALK BY AT 3FT AND NEVER SCENTED ME.

I am a large guy, so I have a large butt. All the sweat that comes off of my back ends up down my butt crack. Gotta do something.

sure they sell laundry detergent, dryer sheets, and body wash that is all scent free, but for me, i have been hunting for 20 years and killed god knows how many deer with out using any of that mess. only thing i ever use is some scent eliminator spray on top of my clothes and some red fox pee around my blind. I will admit that i bought some of that gumoflauge stuff, usually I'm not a sucker for that stuff but i had $5 burning a hole in my wallet.

"Man Show" advertised a product called Crack Spackle. Maybe us larger hunters should invest.
