Anybody "Smoke Their Clothes"before a hunt?

[T Folts]

All this talk about scent elimination, smoke as a cover ect... I can tell you I wash my clothes in scent eliminator and use the earth dryer sheets wear rubber boots get on stand everthing is right then I fart and ruin the hole deal. I still have had deer this year walk across my tracks and never blink a eye, pass down wind (Im about 12 feet up and never lift their noses to smell me. I think the thermals must be perfect for this stand. I dont know it makes me wonder.

A good fart with the right tone can sound like the best buck grunt. I am trying to get the deer can sound down now.

It's doable but with the required harmonics one risks speckling his drawers.

I guess that's okay... if wood smoke doesn't scare deer, bacon strips shouldn't either.

Ok, I would think it quite simple that you can never eliminate the human odor. So if you smoke your clothes, the deer will think that there is a burning human nearby. I'd run too.

I have all but given up using any scent cover or elimination products. I've over the years used scnet lok suits, fancy body washes and shampoos etc.Vanilla. Fox Pee. Coon pee.  I skipped the scent elimination gum and toothpaste.

I shower in scent free soap, keep my clothes clean by wahing them in water and bakingsoda and hanging them outside. I put dry leaves in the bottom of my clothees tubs to add the smell of leaves to them. Last I knew, the only time a deer would spook from leaves is if it was still attached to the tree when it fell on them.

No smoke.No Vanilla. Nuthin. I do not get busted any more, or any less. And I have a few extra dollars left over after hunting so I can stop at Cousin's Bar and Restaurant and get a burger and a beer and watch the Red Wings after the evening hunt. And I don't stink when I go in there, and scare off the waitresses.

I just started smoking everything this year. On thursday night i had a fork horn come in to about 30 yds. To get him to come on in i tried the "pee on dry leaves" call. It worked. He came on over to 10 yds down wind and stood there for 5min. trying to figure out what was going on. He licked his nose and the sides of his mouth numerous times trying to collect my scent but could not nail me. He never spooked or ran, just gave up and went back to feeding. I know it was just one deer, but i was impressed.

Green aspen is the best wood to use for this pratice. you build your fire with dead wood and then put the green Aspen on the fire and stand in the smoke and turn. I've done it and it works; but it isn't magic. It adds to the time it takes you to get busted. It doesn't keep you completely safe. It is pretty amazing though.
