Get up close and personal, scent elimination

sushi42 · 10-01-2009, 11:22 AM

Well it is that time of year again and I too scored on my first of the year last evening. Venisen viddles tonight! Figured I'd take a couple of minutes and talk scent elimination my way. Cheap too!

Next time your in the woods, especially if you're still hunting and you come across a nice pile of fresh deer droppings, and I mean fresh like the slime is still on em, pick em up and rub em all over your hunting clothes. I'm tellin ya to cover yourself. It will not only help eliminate a lot of the human scent you may still have but it also has a large tendency to attract deer to you. Deer are inquisitive creatures by habit and their nose tells them whether to sneak away undetected or go take a closer look. Had many deer follow me just out of visual range until I was able to outsmart them by stopping behind a big oak and wait em out. Come rutting season this works all the more better due to the fact that mature bucks are looking to bed down anything in their area and if the scent happens to smell like a buck, well, lets just say you got to be on your toes! A couple biggess fell to my trusty slug-gun after charging me full bore from a close-by laurel patch. Talk about a rush.

Now for sitting, first I want you to get yourself some baking soda, you know, the stuff your momma always keeps in her fridge. Put a generous amount in a sandwich sized ziplock baggie. I like to shower with it just before my hunt also, then as you get to your stand (by now I'm sure that you've worked up a little bit of extra human sweat scent) take out the baggie, put some in your hands and rub it all in your hair. Put a dab in your mouth and rub it around with your finger, take a swig of water and spit. Much scent comes from your mouth! The remainder of the majority of scent comes from your head! Now your ready for the big boy! Grab your call, make a few grunts and stay alert. If you get hungry, grab an apple, or something that is native to the area, this will help not alert deer that there is something sketchy and actually has also brought in a few beelining to my stand. As I said earlier, deer are inquisitive! One last thing, when you bring your clothes home be sure to put them in a plastic sealed bag and I always sprinkle more baking soda in the bag and then shake like your shakin and bakin! If your a non-believer, take a wiff of your clothes inside the bag once you've given them a shot of soda, you'll see! After every two or three hunts I like to wash my clothes again, and the product I think is the best is the cheap-old hunters specialties scent wash. Comes in a clear plastic bottle and has a really weird nuclear green look too it. Say good-by to spending hundreds of bucks on all these hyped up products and say hello the close and personal way to Mr. Big.

Happy killin boys, hope this helps some this season.

All of the above is great advice but instead of using scent eliminator detergent just use the baking soda you already have its a great laundry detergent as well.

EJ I would love to see a pic of you rubbing deer shit all over your face and then sequence to a nice bow kill! THen maybe I would consider rubbing fresh deer shit all over myself. Until then, I'll stick with the $0.94 baking soda!!! Congrats on your first of the season.

Sparky I tend to get disgruntled when the big blow is on and I can't fish so I kinda go into hide mode. Can't talk to anyone, sorry, I was still trying to put it all together, just waiting for the right window! Talk to you soon.

upload them to you tube and copy the part of the address bar that looks like =khsvfkj=just copy the part between the = signs. Then post a thread and in the text write (bracket[)youtube(bracket])paste the address bar part here([)/youtube(])exclude the parenthesis and the word bracket and thats it

If I post it the way you type it it tries to load a vid...

Thanks for the help Mike. All of my vid footage is on 8 mm. as of right now. I heard that my first step is to transfer this to a cd-rom that I can upload into my comp.(pc). I'm so caveman age behind on all of this technology that any help is appreciated. I did happen to catch your vid. of you (i believe it was you) immitating a turkey!

By the way it was very humorous, and if you can do it then I should certainly be able to make this happen. These last statements made with only fun poking in mind! Again thanks.
