Do You Use Scent Elimination Products when you hunt? Some hunters swear by them while others feel that if you stay down wind from the deer you are fine. Scents such as soap, cologne and even body odor can spook a deer fast. Here are just a few ideas you may want to try along with staying down wind to bag that buck.
Washing your clothes:
Always rinse your washer first before putting your clothes in . You can use a variety of scent free detergents. We have many to pick from on www.basspro.com . After your items are washed with a scent free detergent, put them in the dryer with a scent free fabric dryer sheet. I would then recommend hanging all clothes outside for a bit . If it is before hunting season store them in a large plastic bin that has a lid that can be tightly closed. We also recommend putting your boots, jackets etc.in the bin. Why some people even throw sticks, leaves and dirt in with their clothes.
Showering:
Shower with scent free soap and shampoo. Use a scent free deodorant. Dry yourself with a towel that has already been washed with scent free detergent. Many times we take all these precautions and then sweat as we walk into our hunting spot. Something easy and inexpensive, sprinkle baking soda on yourself. It is scent free and will absorb any extra sweat. Finally, don’t forget your mouth. There is scent free gum, and toothpaste.
Perhaps you may think some of these ideas are harsh but we don’t always think about the smells we come in contact. Consider this, deer can smell even the smallest scent so think about everything you just did. Now you enter your car. If you have a air freshener in the car you pick up that scent. Did you just get gas? How had a cup of coffee, cigarette, or chewing tobacco. Think about once you get out of your truck and walk picking up smells from other places into the woods. A deer will pick up on a foreign smell.
Human odors signal danger to deer as well as they can pick up on six different odors at one time. Of course the ultimate day out would be to always stay down wind and scent free. So get yourself prepared for the season by doing a few simple procedures. Check out below just a few of the scent free items we have in the store or visit us on www.basspro.com for all your scent free products.
