What kind of scent control will you guys be using?? I think I might make my own from boiling pine and misc. in water and use the water!!

Thanks Anthony

I brew up my own concoction that smells like fresh cut hay with a hint of apple. Worked great last year. Had deer walk up to within a few feet of me on numerous occasions.

Wait until someone downs an animal. Take your outer clothing and rub it on the lower abdomen and scent glands. On bull elk this can be quite pungent. The must will mask your smell.

I air out my outer layers outside in the sun And then store them all in a Rubbermaid container along with a shovel ful of dirt and vegetation from my hunting area. A few cut willows and some poplar bark top of the scent box. They don't come out until I arrive on the scene.

[grinr]

I'm of the school of thought "if ya can't beat'em,join'em." in regards to hunting WT.
Ie;I don't beleive any amount of fancy "scent control" clothing is gonna hide you from a WT's nose....buncha BS waste of money IMHO.
That said,I'm a big believer in masking,or more like overpowering my scent with natural deer gland lures,and have witnessed some very convincing downwind results with misting/rattling,and dousing myself with homemade tarsal/urine concoction while stillhunting.
I stress "homemade" only because I don't have much faith in the authenticity of most commercial lures,but I have seen some pretty impressive results with certain Code Blue lures,as in bucks coming in nose to the ground on a string to my bow stands on more then a cpl occasions,following the scent drag trail I laid down on my way in.Even had one young 3x3 pose broadside @20yds sniffing the scent drag that I'd hung over a scrape.

Understand that if you are using animal scents to cover your scent you are effectively setting yourself up to be stalked by predators.

Also, 'pine water' may help only if you are hunting in pine forests. Like Knotter mentioned.. use some natural things from the area you are hunting in to store your clothes in.

I have a bottle of Dead down wind that i use on my trail camera set ups and my self. I also like a little doe urine on the boots during the rut!

I've used just scent killer before, seemed to have worked. Haven't believe in scent control clothing or specific scents. I know of guys who pack their clothes in pine bows. In the past we have just used campfire smoke to get the clothing smokey. Animals are accustomed to the smell of smoke, we've been successful with this also.

I will probably just go with scent killer and clean my hunting clothing with perfume/scent free laundry detergent. It works, just keep the perfumes out of it.

Stand upwind of a herd of elk smelling like smoke and tell me they like it


Best bet is play the wind, second best bet is roll in any scrapes or elk/moose wallows you find.... Nothing pizzes a herd bull off more then his own scent on something else.
