I thought I'd share a useful tool I discovered this season. I store my hunting boots and clothing in separate bags. As soon as I'm done hunting I toss my clothes and boots in the bags.

I bought a couple of these Scent Lok carbon panels and have been tossing them in my bags. They do an amazing job absorbing the boot odors and clothing odors. When I open the bags there is virtually no smell.

These would be good for folks that store their clothing and boots in containers as well. Worth the $$$ IMO.

Never heard of it. Boot odor is prob my worst source of smell in the woods. But more often then not I go into the woods with little or no scent control. How does this storage filter work?

I always put everything in a bag, throw in a couple oh HS fresh earth wafers. Love that smell!

Love that smell to but a deer is gonna smell it as well lol

That fresh earth smell is strong and doesn't smell like the woods where I hunt.
 
I hunt with a few guys that go the extra mile and use the bags to store their clothing, always taking caution to take their hunting clothes off right after the hunt as to not get any other scent on them.
Sometimes I wonder if it's worth it...
Those carbon panels look like a great idea...
 
I talk extra steps to avoid my clothes from being exposed to odors outside of the woods.

I was less than 15 yards from deer several times last week and wasn't getting picked off.
 
I use something similar. I actually bought an activated carbon filter from Lowes. It goes in an air purifier. Same size and cost the exact same. I bought it before I new you could buy the actual replacement to use in your own tote. Seems to work good. I sprayed my clothes with earth scent and the next day I opened my container and smelled nothing. I'm sold for sure.

Think about your statement for a moment "When I open the bags there is virtually no smell." I know that you know that a deer's sense of smell is infinitely greater than yours. I'm coming to the conclusion, like others have voiced on these threads, that playing the wind is about all one can do to beat a deer's nose. To support this further, I've noticed on some of Bill Winke's shows this year that deer are busting him downwind and that guy is about as meticulous in trying to control his scent as anyone I've ever seen (Scentmaster unit, Scent Containment suits, Execute Scent control, etc.) I hate to confess it after years and $$$$ spent, but I'm getting very suspicious about many of the claims of scent elimination products. I do think spraying one's boots before going to one's stand with a scent elimination spray makes sense, but beyond that, playing the wind is a hunter's best bet at fooling a deer's nose.

Well watching the wind before and during hunting
is important, it makes my stand decision every time
Unless it's a commercial fully enclosed shooting house

I spray down a lot of stuff, you talk about boots , why just them?
During hunting season I spray inside my truck,
it's my office half the day. And yes I use containers
and bags, wash, etc scent lock too

Bill Winke's pushing the wind more now do to the lack of bigger
bucks on his place too
 
You can go to petsmart and buy a bag of carbon for way less and get th same results. It's just activated carbon.
