One thing I do is about a month before the season starts I fill a plastic tub that has a lid full of leaves. I put all of my hunting cloths in it and don't touch them until opening day, this seems to work pretty well. I also wash my under garmets in scent free detergent.
I always pour some doe urine around my stand, and during the rut I put out doe in estrus scent. |

Funny you would say "scent away". I have always used Hunters Specialties - Scent Away" products. I do not use any of the scented version. I decided a long time ago that a can of something called dirt scent probably doesn't smell like th local dirt. If I want dirt smell there is plenty of local stuff. :-) |

I use three different methods at the same time.
1. Wear a scent suit, hat, jacket,and pant with boots inside pants.
2. Tinks 69 around stand.
3. Apple car freshners in the stand with me. At least one, we are leaving for South Carolina this weekend for a week of deer and pig hunting. The car freshners can be bought in a six pack for about $6.00. On Monday morning I will open one in the stand. When leaving for lunch will put it in a plastic bag. Going out Monday afternoon will re open it and bag it monday afternoon. Tuesday morning will open a new one and repeat process for all week, buy Friday I will have all five open and hanging with me.
Does not matter if we are baiting with apples or not. Have had deer turn downwind of me looking for the apples. The apple car scent works great and is cheap. If you just want a cover scent they make them in Pine.

If you are using apple scented car fresheners, you must be hunting in the up-state region of SC. Down here in the low country, apple scent will run the deer away (I know because I used some apple flavored stuff on a corn pile once and the corn was left to rot in the field). Pine would be a better option in the pine plantation areas down here. |

I hunt in western New York the deer here don't see to be bothered much by scent allthough the more mature bucks have picked up on human scent as a threat here. I use promos scent eliminator when I Do use scent away |

Actually we are hunting in Northern South Carolina. I was talking about my home state of N.J.
Thanks for the tip.

As ILbowhunter mentioned. I recommend hanging your clothes outside to get a natural scent. And spray or hang whatever around your stand. |

Well, another tip for you Joe. Never, ever under any circumstance, let any one from South Carolina hear you refer to the up state or mountain regions of South Carolina as "Northern". That's a major faux pas, and could get you tarred and feathered in certain areas down here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   |
