All people have a scent about them, and hunters are no exception to the rule. If the wind is in the favor of the deer, then they are going to smell us, quite literally, from as far as half a mile away. This is why the most successful hunters of buck take such great pains in order to try to eliminate as much of their human odor as is possible, masking whatever they miss to ensure that the deer cannot detect them or smell them coming.
The archery deer season can be a bit warm and humid, and this is a bad time of year considering the weather is so miserable for hunting in general. The hot and humid nature of the climate is a true enemy to deer hunters that are looking to control their scents while on the hunt.
The best scent control is going to begin at home. We already all know the importance that comes with showering with the use of soap and shampoo with no scent. Something else that you need to consider is your clothing. Regardless of whether or not your clothing is charcoal lined, you are going to want to wash all of your hunting clothing using a detergent that has no perfumes or scents in it, and then you are going to want to separate this clothing from any other household odors by making sure that your hunting gear and garb are stored in a plastic bag or plastic tub that has no scent to it.
The best choice for buying scent free laundry detergent is sport wash, which you can buy from Atsko.com or in the hunting section of Wal-Mart.
One of the most important parts of preparing for your hunt actually occurs in the washing machine. Your wife can wash your regular clothing in anything that she likes, but when it comes to your hunting clothes, only Sport wash should be used. Sport wash generally causes less than the commercial detergents, and it will work just as well to remove built up residues and other crud from your clothes. You may even want to convince your wife to use sport wash for all the laundry, if you feel so inclined.
Another thing that you can do to control your scent is to take a dietary supplement known as Nullo, which is designed to serve as a deodorant, however internally instead. It has been around for a number of decades already, and sells primarily to people that have problems with excessive body odor. You can use Nullo to neutralize the gases and bacterial cultures that your body produces, but it takes a few days or as long as two weeks in order to completely neutralize your body odors.
