I was reading JDH's post about his trail camera and a deer smelling him a few days later. I figured I would make this thread for some scent control tips and what precautions you take with scent control for you and your gear. Some guys are absolutely nuts about it. I find myself a lot more paying attention to wind direction and storing my clothes in scent free bags, using scent eliminator on my clothes , boots, gear and treestands, scent free shower etc. I don't use any type of attractants whatsoever. Scent elimination products only. I like the dead down wind products. I would say on a scale of 1-10 my scent control efforts would be about a 7 with a 10 being an extreme nut. What precautions do you take or not take for storing your clothes, before hunting and even after hunting. Also , if you down a deer, do you field dress right where the deer drops or do you take the deer out away from your stand to field dress. I always remove the deer from the area before field dressing.I know I have killed deer in my younger years while smoking a cigarette in the stand. Ive field dressed deer right by the stand also.I always enjoy seeing how others do it and the products they use. Maybe learn a new trick or two.
