So this is my first season turkey hunting, do I need to shower with no scent soap, spray down myself and equipment with scent elimination spray as I would for deer hunting or is it not as important in turkey hunting?
I was gonna answer with a quick "doesn't matter at all" but rgw is giving solid advice. I've had at least three encounters where I had deer and turkeys in close proximity and scent control is the difference between success and failure. One snort out of a nearby deer and you are done.but if a deer smell you and snorts alot of times its game over with the turkeys also

Same here! Sawyers permethrin works great. I ignore the label though and spray it directly on my ankles to keep from getting chiggers. Other than that though I only spray my clothes.DITTO!!!Wal mart $10 bucks 12 0z spray non greasy odorless the pests grew immune to deet.
