Scent spray dont work. Deer can smell up to seven different smells seperately. Drug dogs would get thrown off if it worked. Spray scent control on you....you can smell it really strongly. The shampoo, soap smells strong. If i can smell it, a deer can smell it. Read about a deers nose. A deer can smell your breath, your scent spray, your sweat, and what u ate for breakfast if the wind is rite. All seperately at the same time. Its a gimic. What turned me off was when my wife said...why are u sprayin that stuff on you cause it stinks real bad? Plus i did total scent control and drenched my rubber boots in spray. Just to have 2 dogs trail my scent rite to my stand and circle my tree. That crap dont work. It just makes you stink more. Leave your clothes and gear outside wrapped in pine needles. Get dressed when u get out of your vehicle and play the wind. I have killed bucks while the wind is blowing rite to them while im eating on the ground. Friends smoke cigarrettes and kill monsters. Sometimes they spook and sometimes they dont. I do use the soap but that crap smells like chemicals too. I wont ever buy scent spray. I kill nice bucks while im peeing and dippin and spittin everywhere. Sometimes they smell me and disappear...sometimes they dont. Wasn't me, musta been a feller looked like me. haha

Thanks for everybody's input. The basic point is everyone has an opinion...you either use it or you don't. Some people are wishy washy when it comes down to it...You don't believe in it but you use it sometimes. Lol, that what aldeer is all about right? Changing your mind as other people sway you. As the majority says...I'm going to continue to use scent control because I have had "luck" with it. I know it hasn't always been manufactured and the natives used natural scent control, but if something is out there that will help increase my chances of bagging the buck of a lifetime for a inexpensive cost...by God I'm going to use it.

I really believe in the activated carbon clothing. I trust the science behind it and if they are making a fool out of me at least I'm more confident when going afield. I can say that since I bought my first full carbon suit two years ago I have tagged out both seasons. Prior to that I had only killed two bucks in the same season once. I cannot totally attribute that success to the cloth because I did start doing some other things different as well; but as a baseball guy, if I start swinging a new bat and go 4 for 4 Im gunna keep swinging that stick. Regardless always hunt the wind and do what makes you confident. That always leads to better hunting IMO

It may give just enough scent cover to make that buck take a few extra steps needed for the shot. I've had a few where I needed only a step or two to close the deal. Folks that don't believe it can do that are fooling themselves.

I have been smoking my clothes for the last couple of seasons and have noticed a considerable difference. Especially on public land where they do controlled burns. Works for me. Do you do a dry rub or a sauce  On a serious note jhogeland does kill some deer

does scent control work? YES, it can improve your chances a liitle, and like 2dogs said.Sometimes a little is all you need.
can you beat a deer's nose with it? No
I'm in the process of developing a new scent control product. I might bring in beer belly to help with the patent. I may also contact wild bill for some china man money to help back me. I dont wanna go into it to deep because i dont wont someone to steal my idea, but its gonna revolutionize scent control.

Scent control is just con to get your money. As always just hunt the wind. On our place I tried different scents and for the last few years none. Don't see difference. It isn't the scent of a human that bothers deer it is an unfamiliar scent that bothers deer. I was on board with you until I read "It isn't the scent of a human that bothers deer". Dude you lost me there. That has to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard a deer hunter say.

and they don't use it...they say its only a money maker. Well ... my $0.02 after decades of deer hunting is ... scent control is more than just a product/spray/wash ... it's the entire mentality & approach you take to avoid the deer's most powerful weapon, which is scent ... Bottom line, it ALL matters & the more you devote yourself to it, the better your odds will be ...

What to do.....
Pull the hair from your armpits, off your balls & any butt hairs you might have. Shave the hair from your crotch where it joins your legs. P>S This was a serious post Man, I bet you're fun at parties.
