I am strong believer of using maximum scent reduction practices.
I do everything possible from the detergent to wash hunting clothes including underwear and handkerchief to scent kill spray and rubbing
pine needles. I scrub my rubber boots with Armond Hammer baking soda.
I use Scent Lok under garments.
Every single thing matters.
I believe doing so is a major part of low impact hunting.
You can have maximum impact hunting or low minimal impact.
Maximum negative affect of each hunting intrusion - or minimal scent, sound, everything.
And it isn't just a matter of beating a deer's nose in the stand.
Certainly, hunting the right wind direction matters big time.
*But you also don't want to be leaving the maximum bad human scent trail while on the property and going in and out either.
You want to leave the absolute minimum human scent trail behind, the minimum unnatural scents (like regular detergent and regular deoderant) etc.
When you leave for the evening after dark and leave your hunting grounds you don't even want them to know you were there - - to the maximum extent posssible.
