I think I remember reading about some home made scent killer spray with water a nd baking soda at some point.
Anybody have any recipes they care to share before i go and experiment?

the formula is for spraying, for washing I just use baking soda straight up and then air dry outside

Here's mine, looks the same as Kenny's but I've added the process I use also. I spray everything I take out with it. Good luck.
Ingredients:
16 oz. (2 cups) hydrogen peroxide, 3% solution (normal type found in drug stores)
16 oz. (2 cups) distilled water
1/4 cup baking soda
1 oz. unscented shampoo
Note: remember 32 oz. = 1 quart; expand ingredient amounts proportionately for larger amount of end product.
Directions:
(1) Mix ingredients in large bowl so baking soda dissolves (water, then peroxide, then baking soda, then soap).
(2) Pour into clean 1 gal. plastic milk jug (easily found in most homes). Note: do not shake!
(3) Let sit at moderate temperature for several days until chemical reaction settles down. Note: do not leave in tightly sealed container (use milk jug with snap-on cap)!
(4) Pour prepared mixture into spray bottle(s) of your choosing.
A few things to ponder on this stuff. Make sure spray bottles are not clear or keep them out of sunlight. Sunlight will break down the peroxide into water. The peroxide is in this solution to kill and prevent bacteria that creates odor.
The baking soda traps and absorbs odor molecules.
The unscented soap is a binding agent that makes the solution stick to what you spray in on.

***hydrogen peroxide, 3% solution (normal type found in drug stores)***
That stuff will burn off your skin in higher percentages.
Its cheap; and you can use it pure to spray on blood trails; it bubbles when it hits blood.

I make mine in gal sized batchess using distilled water at the beginning of the season... However, I adjust up everything but the soap... the soap just helps as a binder to keep it all together in suspension so to speak... When I used more soap, I lost a lot more from sudsing.... However, Don't leave in the sun or a warm vehicle.... It will leak...

A friend of mine who has consistently bags a couple deer each year in archery season uses something that could probably be considered more of a cover sent than "sent killer", but he swears by it.....
70% isopropal alcohol and 30% vanilla extract. Mix it up in a spray bottle and use it like any of the factory products.
I tried it last year and can't say that it was any less effective than the store bought "Sent Killer". The amazing thing is that you would think the vanilla extract would put dark stains on your clothing, but it doesn't. Pretty cheap and I'll try it again this year.
