Due to the location of my lease and the position of the game trails, it is very difficult to approach my stands from upwind (last years crazy weather was a nightmare!).
I've had success in the past couple of years, but I can't help thinking every time I go that almost every deer coming onto my lease can smell me.
I do all the normal scent masking tricks, scent free soaps and detergents, no bug spray (that's a tough one), high (rubber) boots, hunting from a tree stand etc. I have heard of some folks "smoking" their hunt gear over wood fires has anyone tried this or does anyone have any suggestions to reduce my stink?
Cheers!
