Scent Control

[so cal hunter]

Hey i had a question regarding scent control. what do you use for controling human scent? Body soap, scent killer's, cover scent's ect. i have used just about every thing on the market and was looking for something i can buy without going to turner's or mailorder from cabela's any suggestion's?

Hey Keith, A good bath might work. Sorry buddie, couldn't help myself (again).
Anyway, many years ago (and I do mean, "many"), my dad tried some sorta stinkem while in full camo and had 2 deer literally sniffying there way to him, noses in the air. We were predator hunting.

So, in other words I have absolutely no idea, but I never use them as with my luck I would only make matters "worse".

I've used skunk scent and earth scent. Not often, but it has worked for me. I do use scent killer. The stuff they sell at Cabelas.

It's tough to find skunk scent. I really don't use the stuff anymore. You start to learn certain things from yotes after hunting them for sometime. I wouldn't spend too much time looking for the stuff anymore. Like Songdog said, use the wind to your advantage.

Well i do use the wind more than anything i usually don'nt put my camo on till i get to where i am going boot's included for the simple fact that i do not want to get any type of scent on them before i hunt. i know guy's that chew (dip) and hunt and have actually have animal's come up to them curious of the smell. it seem's that know matter how clean you are thay still seem to smell you or something that you have on you. i have a friend that makes his own scent from dried brush where we hunt, throw's it in an old blender add's a little water, mixes, strain's, and put's it in a bottle and uses it. well i guess what ever work's. so cal hunter
