That's pretty much the same thing I do. Except I don't have the ozone machine. The wife doesn't like scented laundry detergent so we always use scent free detergent. I bathe with scent free soap and shampoo for the entire hunting season. Always air dry my hunting clothes outside and keep them outside in a scent free storage trunk. Also use unscented gun oil. None of my hunting gear comes inside the house during deer season.

I do almost the same except all the mouth stuff. I think he's scrubbing the hide off his gums with all that. Definitely OCD
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be

I know it's wrong but I can't help but think that someone needs to go through his scent-free room and give the whole thing a good heavy spray with Febreeze.

There’s a guy I know, and I’d put his trophy room up against anybody’s in this state, and he don’t pay the wind no flipping mind at all. Does he use a spotlight? LOL I know some of y'all will think this is absolutely crazy, but Swamp Fever posted on here several years ago about using smoke (fireplace smoke) as a cover scent. I decided to try it. The first season that I tried that, during early bow season, I had 7 bucks feeding downwind of me at around 75 yards and not a dang one of them spooked or even remotely acted like they smelled me. Now only one of them was a good un, but still 7 bucks in one wad, directly downwind is a pretty good test. I also killed an 8 point at 12 yards in KY that same year, after I had "smoked up" prior to the hunt. I'm sold on being as body odor free as possible and then smoking yourself and clothes in hardwood (or dead leaves) smoke. A bee smoker works great for that. Big tract deer may not be too familiar with smoke smells but deer within living within a mile of a fireplace smell hardwood smoke pretty often
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

Glad you posted. Been meaning to watch that after I watched some of his hinge cut vids. No way that guy is married with that kind of time on his hands. Well. If I went through all that all the time I’d have to quit hunting. I do smoke my clothes and packs though.
Don't blame me for your bad decision-

Whenever I start getting paranoid about scent control, I think about a guy I hunted with years ago at West Colbert. Jimmy would spend the summer finding a buck he wanted to hunt and would take significant strides to control his scent; Clothes washed in unscented soap, showered before going out, no stopping at the store on the way, changed when he got to the woods, etc. The last year we hunted together, "his" buck was killed by the club president as Wayne sat on a rock in his work cloths smoking a cigarette. Wayne's attitude was always "if the wind is wrong, turn around". He was a wise man.

The problem with that "hunt the wind" myth, is here in the south the wind is always wrong. The wind changes direction constantly. I've killed deer with my truck, headlights on, and horn blowing. But I don't rely on that method as a general rule.
