daryl_s Report post Posted July 19, 2005 I don't know a whole lot about any of the scent cover up but I've tried the UV blocker that you wash your clothes in and when I first tried that I noticed a huge difference in how many deer I saw as compared to before. It's supposedly scent free also. I washed my clothes in it and treated my shoes, backpack, etc. I showered with scent free soap and shampoo, used the scent free deodorant. I also used a scent that smells like dirt and put my hunting clothes in a garbage bag with some of that scent in it. I sat in a good spot in 36B and had deer walking within about 10 yards behind and in front of me that didn't ever know I was there. I had a spike come within about 15 feet of walking right up to me. I don't beleive that you can totally hide your scent but I'll take any bit of an advantage that I can get. I'm sold on the UV blocker, though. Any of you guys tried the UV blocker??

BASS Report post Posted July 19, 2005 I do the same thing, I start with the showering kit about a week before the season starts, and follow up each day with another one. (Ice cold water wakes you up at 0300 very fast!) The problem with the scent lock is their "forget the wind, just hunt" additude. I don't care if you have every piece of odor eliminator on the market on, along with ten different cover scents. You still need to keep the wind in your favor while hunting. They make it sound like you can be upwind of a monster buck, and just keep walking towards him until you can slit his throat with your blade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnFriddle Report post Posted July 25, 2005 I use the laundry detegent without UV brightners... It seems to work pretty well. As far as scent elimination, I think that is a exercise in futility... Don't get me wrong every little thing helps... Youll find a whole bunch of scent killer in my bag of tricks, as well as cover scents... Those suits are HOT!!! All that extra sweat stinks I'm sure... You may eliminate some but you create more... I think I'll just work the wind best I can... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spectr17 Report post Posted August 21, 2005 One of our biggest problems in the military was trying to sneak up to or around someone without being detected. Many people have dogs and that was our worst fear. Even goats would bust us. We got busted almost everytime by dogs and animals. THat is if the wind was wrong. If the wind stayed in our favor it was a walk in the park. Trust me, if these scent eliminators worked you would see SPECOPs guys walking around in them and you don't. We wore the charqual suits for CHEM attacks and they were heavy and hot. THey also didn't stop the dogs from smelling us. With animal's noses be able to detect scent in parts per billion you'd have to be in a bubble. Play the wind, it's your only chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
