GI Hunt and Camp Gear Info

I's not what it seems!

For a long time, I was indifferent to all intentional scent control activities. However, I now understand how much the lack of it impacts my over-all hunting capability. Deer, elk, bear, and other large game animal’s sense of smell is more effective than that of humans. Example – research indicates that deer can smell up to 1,000 times greater than humans. Removing or hiding odors on the hunter’s body, clothes, and equipment are critical,

Prior to going out, bathe the body and wash your clothes with scent free soap. On the day of the hunt, use a scent free tooth paste and deodorant. During the hunt, periodically use a scent eradicating spray on both clothing and equipment. The key is to do those things necessary not to alert the hunted game but make them feel totally comfortable and unsuspecting in their living environment. The planning for and the use of a Scent Control Strategy is a must!
