Anyone who has ever hunted archery knows that scent control is just about the most critical aspect of hunting with a bow. Its important in all hunting but for archery its imperative.
If you’re not careful with human scent then any small wind change, however slight, will wreak havoc on your hunt and all of your careful planning will still end in disaster. No matter how well you place that blind or tree stand for the wind, you can’t control the direction it may change to, or the path that trophy buck is going to take to get to you.
When this is your goal, controlling your scent is imperative
It all comes down, in the end, to controlling the scent that gets to the deer.
Now while you can control it a great deal on your body, using scents and omitting the perfumed body baths and so on, its not always easy to keep the smells of the household out of your gear.
One of the best methods that is available for making sure that your scent isn’t human variety, your clothing inundated with body sprays, cooking odors and other things that will make deer leave faster than you can draw your bow has never been easier than it is today.
One of the newer products on the market for scent control isn’t really made for that, but works ideally well and will keep you ready to go at a moments notice.
The large variety of Hefty One Zip(TM) bags that are made for storing pillows, blankets and clothing is perfection itself to keep youir hunting gear odor free.
keep your clothing scent free with these little miracles
The Hefty one zip is a 22 gallon zip lock bag that will store hunting gear perfectly on a closet shelf, keeping it clean, scent free and ready to roll
Here is how its done.Take one large bag (about 2 dollars each) for each set of hunting clothing, put in shirt, pants, socks underwear and any other items you’re going to want, and add a short blast of the cover up spray to the bag.
Flatten it and let out all the excess air, and when you do, you’ve successfully locked out the human odors from the house and locked in the scent spray that you’ve used, permitting the clothing effectively to “steep” in that scent.
You can also store your backpack, glove, and about any other items in the bags that need to be free of human scents as well.
