What do you do to cover up your scent? I know with the heat and less close during the winter I am putting out a lot more scent. Nearly every deer that comes in I can tell that they are smelling me. Noses up in the air are turning around. They just are not feeling comfortable and I am sure that it is keeping many from coming in. As of now only one has blown but its obvious that they are smelling and not comfortable. Any help will be appreciated!

Hunt the wind about all you can do. I think others will agree with me here, but you will NEVER be 100% scent free no matter what you do or try.

Wash your clothes often in non scent detergent. Shower with some scent eliminating soap such as Hunters specialties body wash, before you go. wear some clothes that you washed with your hunting clothes and change into your actual clothes when you get to your spot. Keep your clothes in a scent free tub until you change into them. And last and most important, mind the wind, because no matter what you do you will emit some odor.

Hunting the wind is the best bet. I do hang my clothes in front of a campfire.

Make sure you wash a towel with your hunting clothes in scent free laundry detergent. Use that towel when you finish taking a shower with the scent away products. Otherwise drying off with a towel that is not scent free basically cancels everything you did in the shower.
