Went to Gander Mountain today and noticed the array of scent control products. Primos' Silver XP, Scent Killer, Scent Away, and Dead Downwind all have products aimed at reducing human scent.
I know the correct answer is to play the wind, but I know it helps to have some type of scent reducing agent.
Which one is "best" to use? With all these choices, which one do you use and have sucess with.

Unscented soap and water. Nothing better when used regularly.

Along with unscented soap I use the unscented shampoo and the unscented antiperspirant. All are Scent-A-Way products.

the thing about these products is that we can never be sure if they work at all...
The deer can't tell us whether or not they can still smell us, so I guess we just have to go on what we know.
What we know is this. Under ideal conditions(for the deer), deer will pick up our scent. Under somewhat moderate conditions ( like crosswinds and swerling winds), deer may or may not pick us up. Under upwind condtions, we can be cooking a pork shoulder and the deer won't smell us or the BBQ......
We also know that deer can pick up our scent from our footprints and by us simply brushing up against a tree limb......
if these products help hide our scent under questionable conditions then i say they are worth trying. But if a deer gets downwind of you, under ideal conditions for him/her, then you are busted.......
which is better....I have no idea, but I often use Scent away soap before the hunt , scent away deodorant and scentaway spray, often spraying down multiple times throughout the hunt.
good luck

There was a comparison test done a while back, probably google and find it, but scent away took it by a large margin.
