Unbiased scientific tests have concluded Hunter's Specialties Scent Away the best scent eliminating product. thumbsup

That test is a couple years old and there are a lot of knew products out there now. Just saying.

DDW has worked the best for me.

I've used Scent Away products for the past several years now with great success. I wash my clothes and spray down good with it before entering the woods. I've had deer downwind of me and not get busted plenty of times, but I've also been busted a few times while using it. It's not going to totally make you scent free (can you really ever be 100% scent free...?), but I feel it does help control your scent. It's fairly cheap and works pretty good from my experience.

I thought it was scent killer that made the top?

I just switched over to DDW last year. I really like it! I can get a 64oz jug and a 12oz field spray bottle= 76oz for $19 at my local shop. Cheaper than HS at WalMart!

I do everything I can to stay scent free shower, store my clothes in containers, spray down good and rub pine needles all over me. Hunt the wind right and still get winded sometimes. Guess that what happens when you hunt a 1500 acre pine plantation. U never know where they are gonna come from. confused

Yeah, I think it was Scent-A-Way that did the best in the testing.

Visited a friend in Indiana this week and hunted three mornings in gusty wind.

Second morning it was swirling and whipping pretty good.

This guy has a dog and cat, and his parents have five dogs and two cats ... all but two in the house. They all smoke, too. There was no way to eliminate odor unless I undressed in the woods. I took off my bibs, sweatshirt, boots and toque in the garage (where only two dogs lived) and left them there. Wore the same pants-shirt under my bibs and sweatshirt.

Tuesday morning I had a doe under my stand close enough that I spit on her back. She never smelled me. Probably was just luck, but she came straight to the stand from about 30-plus yards away.

My pal showers each morning in Scent-A-Way, sprays down w scent spray, puts his clothes and boots in a giant bag, uses dirt scent wafers, etc.

To each his own.

Dead Down Wind is good stuff. I like the H.S. "Scent-A-Way" and their dirt wafers, too. I think Knight & Hale also made something that smelled like dirt.
