I agree nothing will eliminate your scent but if it can be reduced be even a fraction that could be beneficial. I don't go crazy with my scent control I do keep my clothes in a air tight tote and change at the woods. Other than that I just hunt the wind like everyone else and use unscented soaps but I do that all year regardless

I do this for my feel good factor. Other that playing wind is most important.
I'm reason they call it hunting and not shooting.

You would have to buy a new magic suit every day cause you would wreck it every day.


Agreed 100% On week long hunts there is not way your keeping that stuff clean. I stink to high heaven a lot of times. Just got to hunt accordingly! You taught me that!!!!!!!

Absolutely agree! I have no access to a wash machine on vacation and if I did I wouldn’t use it most likely lol. Once in a while I wish I could wash my compression layer and the next because they start smelling pretty bad and I don’t like the smell but that being said I’m wearing the same stuff over and over all season and I’m tagging mature bucks . I had a tv guy tell me I don’t believe you ....I just smiled . Could care less who believes me.


Have you tried merino layers? They won’t hold stink. Thats what I wear when I am hanging out, scouting and hunting can sweat in them for days but they don’t hold that stink.

You ever smelled a leaf fire from a ways away? IMO that’s how a deer smells us no matter what. Just either a clean you or stinky you.
