masking Human scent

[freejason]

Where you have to be careful with pine and cedar is deer rub and fight both kinds of trees , when I'm walking in the woods in fall and get a strong wiff of either I look around for a rub and so does deer . I used to smoke and drink coffee hunting and more times than not I had to put a cigarette and cup down to shoot but I was the only smoker on our 1200 acre lease and Deer did not relate smoke to hunters and coffee has a skunky musky smell . I had a friend put incense on a stump in front of his stand ( don't remember the fragrance) and shot a lot of deer but if the smell you use gets the attention of a doe or small buck and it finds you and runs off scaring your big buck it worked too good .The best bet is eliminate any odor you can and SKUNK him

Add to using scent free detergent, use a detergent that does not have UV brighteners. You'll find the detergent list gets pretty short pretty fast. Been reading studies,everyone knows not to wear anything blue because deer see that color really well. But what a lot of folks don't know or talk about much is that deer also see UV light really well in low light or night aituations, i.e. when you are sneaking into your spot. They see UV as bright blue. So if you wash your clothes in a detergent with standard UV brightners the gear looks clean to you and glows in the dark bright blue to the deer. One researcher said unknowingly you look light a bright blue light bulb hanging in the air as you sit in the tree.

Which hunting detergent are you using? I have some Dead down wind stuff but not knowing any better I used the All scent free crap that I use for everything else, thought it was all the same. Now I am looking hard at the X-Out Odor detergent as it is both scent free AND no UV brightners. The cherry on top is it comes with UV blocker spray which I can use to get rid of the brighteners I unknowingly washed INTO all my cammo.

Don't know if it's any better than anything else but it's odor free, no UV brighteners, and HE washer compatible.

That's the ticket. Thanks let me do a side by side comparison , price per oz etc. One big advantage, the scent away stuff is sold everywhere so save on shipping costs.
