Scent control, how particular ????

I worry more about wind and smart access to the stand.

I used to buy all the scent free\cover scent stuff I could. Now I use dial soap and head and shoulders. Then I check the wind and decide my hunting spot and my path in. After watching videos of blood hounds find people trying to trick their nose I decided I was wasting time and money. I still get down to a t shirt only to avoid sweating and getting cold later. Works out pretty well.

I once cared so much it wasn’t funny. Then I’d watch my brother go out in blue jeans and 3 day old work clothes and get winded by just as many deer as me…. Midwest has it. Good entry/exit and wind. Good luck doesn’t hurt either

Zero effort to gontrol scent other than normal hygene. Lots of effort to control where my scent goes.

Wind direction, my real concern is going to my stand... will go thru a ravine to the back of my stand to avoid my scent trail. I use creeks and drainage ditches, never ever let my clothes touch anything on way to stand. I watched a doe wind my scent from a stalk of Goldenrod I must have rubbed against, that was 40 yds from my stand.
