scent concealment/elimination...
Play the wind if you can, but in many areas in West Texas that is impossible. You can't eliminate scent just reduce it. Reduce it as much as you can and hope you can trick them. We reduce and then hunt from boxes to contain what we can. Cedar is in every one of my blinds and clothes boxes.
There are several folks on here that smoke their clothes with great success. I'm not sure if grilled ribeye mixed in that counts as good cover scent though.. I'd smoke them separately
Again, play the wind if you can but if you hunt where the deer come from every direction and different directions every day, you might as well be ****ing in that wind trying to play it.Last edited by Smart; 04-08-2014, 06:54 AM.

3. Wash your clothes in scent free soap
4. Keep your hunting clothes in a big zip lock bag.
5. If you have cedar on your property, cut a few branches and place in the bag with your clothes.

I wash clothes in scent free detergent and I use the scent free soap and deodorant. Then I make sure and stand by the fire for a while before I head to the stand. Last year I played around with smoking (tobacco) while bowhunting and I had phenomenal results. I never smoked in the stand before, ever, and one day I decided to try it while some does where headed in from down wind. I lit one up and blew smoke out of my pop up and it went directly to them. They didn't even stop when it got to them at 10 yards away. I just kept on smoking and then leaned over and grabbed my pistol and shot one. I do not encourage you to start smoking but smoke definitely works and apparently it doesn't really matter what type of smoke. lol
