Home-made scent killer that works--and is CHEAP!

DeerMaster · Sep 17, 2012

After reading the reviews of the Nose Jammer products and other overpriced pro-staff endordsed B.S.;

Here's a recipe I've been using for years that works well.

The basic recipe is unscented, but I've modified if with some experimentation to add a very slight cover scent using NJH ******** Pride products.

Here's a pic from the stand tonight that had does bedded 15 yards down-wind. I only could get 2 in the pic, but there was a couple more in the vicinity.

And best of all....no need for an Ozonics unit when using it....

I'm going to try this. I just picked up some of Ron's stuff at the Sportsmans Center. [up]

I make my own also but don't use the peroxide and it works great. I may add some peroxide too. Makes sense. This stuff DOES work!!!!!

Yep it works. The basic recipe been using it for years. Never used the hand written additives though.

.total bull crap [down]...i've had does come in before also with none of that bullshit and bed down right next to my stand in the swamp,if the wind is in your favor and your sitting still this can happen any time..these so called "NEW GENERATION HUNTERS TRY SOMETHING THEY READ ABOUT ,AND When something like this happens ..well they swear they have come up with the magic formula of scent control..[down]..total bullshit..if that wind is not in there favor ..YOUR BUSTED..SOMEONE ACTUALLY SAID THIS JUST A WEEK AGO..GUESS WHO?

After having several go by just out of range at first light I see a big lookout doe coming from dead downwind right at me....

She gets within 15 yards, doesn't like something...could be me........or the curiosity scent I have hanging, snorts and starts walking away

deergetter · Sep 17, 2012

I will have to give it a try since I cant afford OZONICS.

Homemade scentkiller is cheap to make and just as effective as the high priced stuff. I made a gallon of it years ago and never used it. I don't think you need any of this BS, liquid or electronic.

deergetter · Sep 17, 2012

All i do is wash my clothes in the scent free wash with no brighteners .As far as the 400 bucks and more electronic crap is for suckers!!

beaverman · Sep 17, 2012

I've used that homemade formula in the past minus the extras. I always wondered about it's effectiveness since you are adding peroxide as an oxidizer (which would kill odor causing bacteria) then letting it sit to release the extra oxygen essentially forming water and free O2 that escapes into the atmosphere. So after letting it sit a couple days to vent the pressure (release the O2) you essentially have water and baking soda with some soap since the peroxide is mostly gone. I guess it wouldn't hurt anything but I don't know how much it helps either. The soap would probably have a small amount of triclosen as an anti bacterial and there may still be some oxidation in what's left of the peroxide but overall I don't see it really killing bacteria since you converted the peroxide to water by letting it vent the free O2.

Ive made it myself also but the baking soda clogged the spray bottle in about two uses so I gave up. Maybe someone has a better way to apply it.

You need a useless spray to cover your scent??? Guess you forgot your cardinal rule that you always preach..."Hunt the wind".... And you call yourself "DeerMaster". [hihi]

DeerMaster · Sep 17, 2012

..total bullshit..if that wind is not in there favor ..YOUR BUSTED

Do you actually read the stuff type AND believe it.....[eyeroll]

coming from dead downwind right at me.... She gets within 15 yards, doesn't like something...could be me........or the curiosity scent I have hanging,

Said it could be one of two options....[confusedagain]....or maybe it saw a blob in a tree and thought...wtf....[drinking]

Are you Piney's brother or just his alter ego....[ninja]
I was and do hunt the wind. Did you ever have a spot that deer could be coming in any direction at any time? How do you hunt that....I'm not hunting in a backyard so I can't use the picket fence to make sure deer don't come in down wind behind me....[ko]

Amazing how it does not matter WHAT anyone posts, there will be someone that will hijack the thread and make it into a controversy. Why do people even need to start with their crap? Sometimes people on this site are just unreal and should keep their comments to themselves!!

BTW... i've been using a version of this homemade cover for many many years and it has helped especially when deer cross my tracks. I only use it on my boots and it does help.

Because that's what Deermaster does to everyone so now people throw it back in his face.

I like how the first line is...

After reading the reviews of the Nose Jammer products and other overpriced pro-staff endordsed B.S.;

And then he goes on to endorse, Red Necks Pride and Hunter Specialties. What a clown [down][down][down]

DeerMaster · Sep 17, 2012

[eyeroll] OK...I'm endorsing....get a clue ******....[confusedagain]

Bag and Drag · Sep 17, 2012

Wow queermaster, that was original. What's the matter, you can't take it? Your sure dish out a alot about everyone else...
