What do you guys use to help keep any unwanted smells from you truck(seats and such)? Mine tends to smell like a McDonalds Happy Meal when summer ends. :jumper:

I dressin the field...skivvies on out. Even in snowbanks... same with boots. Yeah, I'm nuts!
-
Can't do it ! Too many crushed crackers....rancid ketchup and fossilized french fries hiding in and around that back seat ! ;)
Might have to spray the interior with fox urine scent to get rid of it.....

I just keep it as clean as possible and don't worry to much about it. If the wind is such they can smell your truck they can sure smell you. For the obsessive compulsive you can steam clean everything fabric with no scent soap. Then wash all mats, rubber, etc... with the same. Put freshly crushed foliage from the local hunting area in the rig at the end of every hunt and let that smell permeate everything.
Use no scent soap, wear gloves while driving, and put on hunting clothes and boots that traveled in plastic bags after descenting at home when you get to the site.
Personally, I just try and stay as scent free as possible and play the wind.

I just hang a new pine tree from the rear view mirror. I also try to clean it out a little as well.

I shoe horses for a living so my truck cab smells like horse crap, cow crap, my sweat and lunch..burritos, tacos, and bologna. (and beer)
The deer don't care....just hunt upwind and quit worrying. Holy Crap..now we are worried about how our vehicle smells...?
I guess I need to use only pine scented oil, and oak scented transmission fluid...
This "scent technology" nonsense is getting out of hand..a deer has a nose as good as a bloodhound...You CANNOT DEFEAT IT!
Just hunt upwind.

Cut a X in a box of baking soda and place under seat,change one a year.But you still have to play the wind.

Sendero hit the nail on the head as far as I'm concerned.
Deer ain't afraid of gasoline, McDonald's wrappers, the "smellgood" hanging from your rearview mirror or the dog poop on your shoes. They are afraid of YOU, period.
You also need to remember that deer are not reasoning animals, they don't connect the dots as in "Hmmm, I smell Mickey-D wrappers..." "Joe likes to eat Big Macs..." "Oh, crap, Joe has a treestand over there...." "I better vamoose to avoid Joe..." Deer smell a person where they aren't used to people being and, assuming it is a deer with half a brain, he gets out of the way.
A deer can smell where you walked 3 days ago...you aren't going to fool him except by working the wind.

Ozone generator, will get rid of any smell. You should try and get rid of whatever is causing the odor. I use one on my hunting clothes, works very well. I also spray dead down wind before going into the woods. I do use a scent mask and hat and as said before, I spray my hands with the Dead down wind. I also use Dove soap for sensitive skin ( unscented ). I have had as many as 5 bucks under my tree at once and they couldn't smell me ( too small for me to shoot ) but it was interesting watching them.

I dress behind the truck when I get there. Wear jeans etc in the truck.
