Mainly, I watch the wind.

I do bath in scent free soap, ozone my clothing, etc because it's easy and MIGHT help. I don't think that anything is 100% other than the wind and even then you can get some swirls.

I bath scent tree soap and shampoo. Scent free deodorant. Wash clothes in scent free soap and scent free dryer sheets. Spray scent block on boots. There was a thread on here with someone who goes way above and beyond that.

Finally, I never hunt with the wind at my back if I'm not in a box stand.

Everything you can imagine.


A better question would be "what works?" The answer to that is keeping the wind in your favor.

Nothing. Killed a deer covered in fruity mosquito spray with a thermacell running last month.

Smoke in the stand.

Bucks are curious.


Eta: I admit I leave my camo in the woods.

I try to think like a deer, like a buck. Guys like girls that smell good. So I bathe using my wife’s shower gel. It smells like flowers. Guys can’t resist it, so therefore, bucks can’t either. Only half joking.

I wash my clothes in scent killer detergent, and I spray everything down before heading in the woods. I watch the wind and the wind dictates how and where I enter the hunting area at.

I’ve never used scent free soap, and it hasn’t seem to have hurt me. I’ve seen quite a few deer this season (my first season) and several at bow range or just outside it. Mind you, I am 20 feet up in a tree so that helps.

Usually just play the wind. But, I have a chance to go tomorrow morning and hunt a box stand close to the house before work. The wind won't be real good for it, so I'll probably just only open front window, and hope for the best. Won't be able to hunt there for 4-5 more days, so if something winds me, the spot should be able to settle down for a while before I'm back in there. Gotta go when I can!
