Scent control
« on: November 30, 2006, 12:27:16 PM »
I plan on getting back into Archery hunting NEXT YEAR.  Too late to get all my gear tuned back up and get practiced for hunting. 

Anyway, is there any way I can start with scent control this year.  I want to get all of my cammies scent free.  I was thinking about washing them with scent-free detergent and putting them in a ziploc/airtight type container with some baking soda.  Will that keep them the way that I want them, or is there a better way?

Also, what is the best scent control under-garment for the money?  I know scent-lock is good stuff, but how about the silver stuff?  Does it work?

I use Scent blocker pants, jacket, gloves and cap/mask. I always shower with scent free soap before hunting, use cover scents, etc.

I wash my Scent Blocker pants and jacket very seldomly. Just putting them in the drier re-activates the carbon granules and then I put everything I wear hunting in a large scent control bag with a HS dirt drier sheet or two. I store them like that between hunting trips and during the off season.

Thats all I do to try and give me the edge. My nephew is very, very serious and does similar and then gets dressed in the woods and even has a list foods to avoid (ie garlic) and it works as he has a veritable herd of deer mounted on the walls of his home. He also spends a lot of time out in the woods pre-season looking for sign and patterning deer movements.
