"I'm a big scent control guy. I wont name names, but a few that I see responding here are gun only hunters so take their opinions with a grain of salt.\n \n\n\n\tI'll summarize this tired argument and debate with this.\n \n\n\n\tIf the wind is right can you smell like a donkey and kill a nice buck? yes.\n \n\n\n\tAre bigger bucks harder to kill if you smell like a donkey? yes. And if you smell like a donkey how many bucks did you never even see that you didn't know were there? It's a tired argument by the cig smoking irish spring guys of the bunch. Good enough land and you'll get your deer.\n \n\n\n\tIt's generally believed that there is no scent elimination trick out there, but that good scent control can make scent appear to a deer as if it was once there and has left. Sort of like an old odor.\n \n\n\n\tScent control can also decrease the size and range of your scent cone.\n \n\n\n\tIf you have great scent control and a deer comes in downwind you can still be easily busted, and i've had it where I wasn't busted. So many variables like thermals, hunting pressure etc affect this.\n \n\n\n\tAnd scent free soap, scent free (and non-uv detergent) and scent eliminating spray is cheap. Maybe $20 a season and you're showering anyhow right? The companies that advertise odor reducing gear that cost more than army surplus often also make good comfortable gear that I want anyhow. Every hunter of course should use what they can afford.\n \n\n\n\tAt the end of the day Mark Kenyon put it best. If good scent control increases my odds even 3% I'm doing it. I will take literally any advantage I can get.\n \n\n\n\tPS the allergy free, scent free laundry stuff works just as good as the stuff with a big buck on the bottle.\n \n"
