If you can see him, you can bet that he can smell you. BuckedUpApparel.com offers tips on scent-free hunting.

You don’t even have to break a sweat. Just show up and you already smell. Every moment of the day your body is spinning millions of scent molecules into the surrounding air. It’s on your hunting clothes and boots that you wear and on all the hunting gear that you carry. And don’t think for minute that whitetail buck you’ve got your eye on can’t detect it – his greatest sense is his sense of smell. Lucky for you, BuckedUp Apparel has a few helpful hints to keep your hunting clothes and gear, and yourself off your target’s scent radar:

• Before your hunt, shower with unscented antibacterial soap and shampoo, dry off with towels washed in an odor-killing detergent and use an odor-neutralizing deodorant;
• Brush your teeth with baking soda and avoid eating, smoking and chewing tobacco after a brush;
• Wash ALL of your hunting clothes, right down to your skivvies, with odor-killing detergent and hang them to dry on a line outside (your dryer may hold scents from previously washed clothes and scented drying cloths);
• Store and carry your clothes in scent-free bags;
• Oil rifles with brands that provide a masking scent;
• Wash bows, arrows and broadheads with hydrogen peroxide;
• Wash all of your hunting gear including your backpack, harness, stand, grunt tube, knives, etc. with fragrance-free detergents before each hunt;
• Wash boots and overboots with odor-killing detergent and don’t wear them until you reach your hunting ground to avoid picking up odors from your vehicle, gas station and that favorite breakfast joint you hit along the way;
• If you wear leather boots, line them with a scent lock and spray with a masking scent and odor neutralizer;
• To really mask your boots’ scent, grind them in fresh deer droppings spotted while walking your hunting ground;
• Use your rifle or bow to push aside vegetation and use activated carbon gloves to climb up to your tree stand. Touching leaves, bark and tree stand steps can leave your scent for deer to discover hours after you’ve passed by;
• Use all of your hunting clothes, gear and equipment exclusively for the woods and store them in a sealed, scent-free container.
