I shower with scent soap dry off with a new towel(bought only for hunting)that has been washed in scent free soap then apply scent deodorant then wear washed sweat pants and shirt in my truck. Once I get to my parking spot for hunting i change into my scent free washed hunting clothes that are in a sealed bin in the back of my truck. I do this routine every hunt I've done it in 0° weather with snow falling. Its greatly improved the class of bucks I see and how comfortable the does are. I wash and dry my hunting clothes after every hunt. Then hang them outside on the branches of a big spruce in my yard. For me it's not just killing a big buck it's the hard work and prep that went into the hunt that I enjoy.
Thanks for watching and being a part of the club. Hope all your hunts are exiting and enjoyable. But don't kill em all, save some for the rest of us, lol.
I really like the autumn scent from wildlife research. They make liquid and pods for the washer and dryer sheets plus the scent killer spray bottle before the hunt. And put a little buck urine on the bottom of my boots or doe urine, it’s seemed to always work for me. Just gotta remember not to wear your boots in the truck.
Right, whatever you are gonna wear in the woods, don't wear while you are driving to the woods. I personally don't trust man made scents, that is why I prefer cedar and pine needles. Plus, pine needles are free, lol. Occasionally when I find fresh deer crap, I stomp all in it. And whenever I'm putting out my James Valley scent, I rub the extra on my boots also and walk in a circle around may stand at about 15 to 20 yards. Thanks for watching, may all you hunts be exciting.
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment. Sorry for the late reply, I have no idea why UA-cam did not release your comment. I try to stay on top of comments. May all your hunts be exciting.
on the subject of washing clothes: what about white vinegar. helps against bacteria and does not smell. on the subject of soap: You can buy raw soap for little money and no longer has to be processed. the raw soap that my wife ordered was odorless because she wanted to decide for herself what goes in/what she smells like. she had just boiled them up I speak German and have translated everything with google - I hope it is understandable if not let me know and "weidmannsheil"
I use an ozone machine in the closet with my hunting clothes for about 3 days before shotgun deer season. This works well for me as deer walk all around me when on stand and are not spooked at all. I do appreciate your video, very will laid out and informative. This plus the ozone and that wall hanger that you blessed me with. Thanks
I really liked this video. What I learned: I will never be good enough to be a bow hunter. The best I can aspire too is a corn pile 250 yards away on the edge of a field with a rifle in my hands while watching football on my laptop. Oh and don't forget the cooler with summer sausage and jerky made from the deer the weekend before.
LOL! Hey, if that's how you roll while hunting, then it beats sitting in your living room. Can't shoot em there! Whatever it takes for you to enjoy God's creation, then that works for me. Thanks for watching and may all your hunts be exciting and may your team always win.
Mitchem XXX is the stuff, I discovered it a few years ago. For topwear, I only wear a tshirt when I climb the tree, once climber is where I want it, I strip off tshirt, put it in a ziplock and drop it to ground. Then spray down with some scent killer, before putting on some scentlock shirt(s). I also built an ozone tote, you can get a ozone generator for $40 on amazon (same one the scentlok guys sell for $200) , I keep my rubber hunting boots and clothes in it, plug it in and run a 5 minute cycle while driving to stand, then dress at the hunt area. You are correct...no leather...no gas stations/convenience store stops... I shower immediately prior to the hunt whenever possible using the scent free soap. I soak my pull rope, backpack and climbing seat in activated charcoal prior to each season. My success rate has skyrocketed over the years by following these principles. Every little thing you do helps
Exactly, when it comes to bow hunting, the devil is in the details. I'm with you on the t-shirt going to the stand, I've done the same thing. I'm thinking about a video on discussing how to stay warm in the woods, maybe after hunting season is over. Thanks for watching, may all your hunts be exciting.
Don't have one of them, but that is a great thing to do with your boots in order to keep them dry. Lack of moisture is important to suppressing bacteria growth. Thanks for watching, may your hunts always be exciting.
Great video ! I already left one comment but wanted to add to that … so I washed my gear in (scent a-way Max) but my wife did put it in the dryer, is there anything I can do to make sure no scent got one it ? As well as could the my gear have the blue tent now ? How do I check and eliminate that?
So a single washing does not destroy your camo, but regular washing and drying would after about a year. It's like buying new jeans, the first couple of washings don't do much, but after a year they are faded. So if your gear is relatively new and your not wearing it often, then you should be fine. But any gear that is several years old begins to have wear and fabric wicking, which gives it the whitish blue hue. Washing in hot water and putting them in the dryer speeds the process up so that they don't last as long. I try to rotate my hunting clothes, and any t-shirts and pants that are older than 3 years I retire to work cloths. That way my gear has good colors and is not faded. Coats tend to last a lot longer because we don't put them in the washing machine. Hope that helps.
I think you got good content and very good delivery. Keep at it and I think you will be very successful with youtube and your knowledgeable content bud.
I know the carbon based clothing costs more than a camo shirt and pants from walmart, but it DOES greatly lower your scent trace through the woods. I hunted for years before using it, and the very first time I wore it I, for the first time, had deer actually walking under my stand. I still have my original scent control shirt and pants all these years later. So if I spread that investment over the years it comes up to about what that camo shirt and pants from walmart costs per year. How much is it worth to you to shoot a big buck? Pro Tip: you can usually buy last years model carbon based camo clothes on deep discount sale year-round if you look hard enough online.
Hey, I wish I could afford that stuff, but it's just too pricey for me. Plus if I'm using the wind in my favor, then it's not as important. I'm taking mature deer as it is now, just took a 180 lbs. buck this week, he would have been a mountable 10 pointer, but the left rack was damaged. But, if I come into a little extra money, then I will look into the end of season sales like you suggest. Any particular brand you recommend? Thanks for watching, may all your hunts be exciting.
@@gen10nine43 If he's talking about activated carbon, then Scentblocker hybrid thermal top and bottoms are pretty good and inexpensive. They are ~50$ each right now. Though you'd want to look more into how to use them and take care of them properly. They've worked well for me
@@gen10nine43 I just got a Scentshield lightweight long sleeve shirt on Amazon for $22. I also bought a military woodland camo chemical suit/coveralls online cheap, and new. It's filled with charcoal powder. It's nice and warm in winter...
@@JohnSims3 Great, whenever you can pick that gear up cheap, then you are ahead of the game. But remember, you still have to hunt smart and keep the wind in your favor. That gear is not 100% full proof. Thanks for watching, may all your hunts be exciting.
My wife actually did wash my gear with sentless detergent but she put it in the dryer , think if I put Them out side and left them for the day or two that would help ?
They should be fine, any residual scent products should lose their potency when left outside for a couple of days. The scent from those products only last for so long, then they become inert. Thanks for watching, may all your hunts be exciting.
@@ronaldcagle8094 Thanks and good to know. I'm not a YT personality, I have a job, family, and ministry, so I'm not able to post weekly, but I am working on future videos. Blessings.
I wash my stuff in cold water and dry them in the dryer if it's too cold outside. Only have used unscented dryer sheets and live alone. Spray them down and dry like you do. I still use leather boots but hit them with Evercalm along with the bottom of my pants. Hit trees on the way in and out every trip. Sit in my blind and kill them when they come by. All my shots have been under 20 yards, the last one was 5. Seems to work for me.
And that is the key, getting deer on the ground and enjoying your hunting experience. If your system works, then don't change a thing. Just trying to help other hunters think through some things in the hope that it will help them become better hunters without spending a lot of money. There are some places where rubber boots just don't keep your feet warm enough, so leather boots are the way to go, just have to be careful how you approach your stand/blind and protect the scent integrity of where you are hunting. Thanks for watching. U da man!
I always check out these posts about scent control but before the internet I tried scentless soaps, hanging my hunting clothes outside over a bushel of apples and trying to place my stand downwind of anticipated deer movement and I always amazed hoe every successful hunter I knew had obnoxious B.O. And or smoked. How do you explain that?
This is my first year of using Code Blues calming scent. However, I only use it now because the store didn't have Evercalm in stock. When I run out of Code Blue, I will go back to EverCalm. Thanks for the question and watching the video.
Right, and I should have mentioned Arm and Hammer products, but since most of us let our wives do the shopping, I simply focused on scent free detergents. Since she does the shopping, I let her choose. She knows not to wash my gear with other stuff, and to wash it with scent free detergents and with cold water. But thanks for the reminder, and thanks for washing.
I HATE rubber boots! Seems like they never fit right, either don't keep your feet warm or worse yet if it's warm or hot out then it's a sweat box for your feet and inevitably that scent will escape out of the top of the boot!! Worst thing I ever wore to the woods. I wear boots with a breathable synthetic material and I wash them regularly both inside and outside and air dry outside!!
Hey, I'm right there with you, they are terrible for fit. Wish someone would make a descent fitting boots, but they would probably be a $300 price. But they do greatly shrink ground scent compared to leather boots. But if your path never crosses the trail your hunting, then it really doesn't matter. Thanks for watching, may all your hunts be exciting.
We have horses.i hang my cloths in the barn. And use horse shit on my boots.great cover scent. Knew a farmer that hunted in his barn cloths,he killed the biggest bucks around every year.
That is brilliant!!!! I always stomp in fresh deer crap when I find it. However, cover scent can't cover our scent if we are all sweating and stink. Cover scent is most effective is we have little scent ourselves. Regardless, any over powering scent is not good if is makes the deer look for you.

But I don't have either a barn or horses.

Right, you don't have to use any of the odor killers if you use the wind to your favor. If you do that, then they won't smell you at all and unless they see you, they won't know you are there.

@Crafty McBushface Wow, recurves! Now that is how a real man gets it done. Hats off to your clan, may your tribe increase and may all your hunts be exciting.
You know that is a great idea if you are in that kind of environment. I have used fresh deer pellets whenever I find fresh ones. You just have to make sure you don't wear them in the house, lol. The wife would scalp me! May all your hunts be exciting, thanks for watching.
I made an ozone generator for $20 with parts off ebay, I put all my gear in a closed room and let the ozone do its thing. Makes my stuff smell like fresh air
Right, I am using a portable climbing stand, plus other gear, so I don't use one because I have to much gear as it is. But if I was in a ground blind then I would do a little more research to see how effective they are for odor control. But good to know. May all your hunts be exciting. About how big is your unit?
I can second that blue stands out to deer, I was using a blue rope as a bridge on my saddle, had a doe up wind spot me as soon as she walked into the clearing, she was a good 75-90 yards away and I wasn't moving. Had to be the blue rope

But if I was in a ground blind then I would do a little more research to see how effective they are for odor control. But good to know. May all your hunts be exciting. About how big is your unit?
I can second that blue stands out to deer, I was using a blue rope as a bridge on my saddle, had a doe up wind spot me as soon as she walked into the clearing, she was a good 75-90 yards away and I wasn't moving. Had to be the blue rope
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the interaction. I regret the late reply, I'm not sure why UA-cam didn't release your comment. I try to stay on top of all comments. May all your hunts be exciting.
Hahaha
