DDW here too

Scent a way. It's old & "expired" but I still use it.

Hunt the wind. It works every time.

Make sure it doesn't smell. I tried some and it wasn't long before it started to smell..

Scent killer detergent, scent away soap and spray. Have yet to be winded

This.

I don't use anything. A deer's nose is better than a dogs nose and dogs can detect cancer in cancer patients. Do we really believe that some man made crap is gonna help hide our scent? I don't, i'll keep my money in my wallet. How do you know the deer aren't smelling the spray? Try and hunt the wind, use the thermals to your advantage, and a little luck goes a long way.

I turn and face into the wind if needed.

DDW or Scent Shield in the past.

Store my clothes in a regular tote or jumbo zip loc bags with HS earth scent wafers... Wash hs body hair soap. Cover body in baking soda. Spray down with earth scent spray.
P.S.
Hunt the wind

You can't hunt the wind where we hunt, if the wind is blowing then it is swirling. I prefer the Primos fresh earth scent but also use Scent Away and store our clothes in plastic bins with the scent wafers. I am going to try some of the home made stuff this year as well.

That you know of. They just didn't get close enough for you to know it, or chose not to blow at you when they scented you, but if their were deer downwind of you, they absolutely smelled you. There is nothing made that can eliminate a human scent enough that a deer can't detect it.

Now for the original question, I don't really use anything but the wind in my face. I will say though that my brother left a can of some stuff made by Primos that comes in a green can and says it has silver in it. I never really paid attention to the name and it is out in my shop so that is the best description I can give. Anyways, I had been working on a shooting house and left my old sweaty hat in the shop. After a couple of days it stunk so bad I couldn't stand to wear it. I saw the can of stuff and it said it can be used on athletic equipment, so I sprayed my hat down. It really did kill most of the odor instantly. It had a different smell from the spray that a deer could detect, no doubt, but the stink was almost all gone. I was surprised. It would help with odor, but not eliminate it to the point a deer won't smell you.

Yea, jawbone thats the issue. People use stuff that does reduce odor to us. We have very poor smell. Dogs have 200 million scent receptors in their noses, deer have 300 million. If a drug dog can detect dope wrapped in plastic submerged in a gas tank, can someone please tell me what the hell i can use to defeat an animal who can smell better than that? Its commercialization at its finest. Deer don't smell sweat, they smell the molecules of the bacteria in the sweat. A buck can trail a doe in heat that came by yesterday. We can't even fathom the complexity of how they smell. If this stuff worked, drug lords would be all over it.

This is what I use too. It was good enough for the Indians.

All Dead Down Wind products,,,,, been using it since it first came out ,,,this stuff works,,

I used to use it when I was younger but still got winded. I don't believe in it anymore because of what jawbone just said. I have hunted residential areas where deer were so used to human scent they didn't care.

There's way more money in fooling hunters than there is in fooling deer and I am the biggest fool of all.

Interdigital gland.

Exactly this. We've been conditioned over the years to trade our hard earned money for silly gimmicks. This is one of them. Hunt the wind. Smoke and piss if you want, just don't get busted with movement.

I smoke all the time and usually have to put it down to shoot. I also exclusively hunt public land.

About 15 years ago, a hunter walks by me in my tree in the swamp in TNF and stops twenty yards away to piss. 45 minutes later, a basket rack 8 walks by and stops to smell the spot he peed on. I still have his skull somewhere.
