Homemade cover scents

[anchorman]

Does anyone remember the issues of Traditional Bowhunter that has the "recipe" for the scent eliminator in it? Or do you remeber how to make it? If I remember is has hydrogen perioxide and baking soda in it..Thanks

Scent-No-Mo” Spray (home-made)
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 (Cabela’s hunting shampoo is okay)
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

Cover scent and scent eliminator/reducer are 2 entirely different things. The one posted by James does reduce scent.

IMO there is no way to ever to completely eliminate scent. So all we can really do is attempt to reduce it in all ways that we can.

I agree James....I use baking soda and water and spray my clothing .....eliminating bacteria by trying not to sweat helps too.....the best cover scent I have ever found is cow manure when hunting on a dairy farm.....walk through it and it really helped me.....best defense, work the wind properly......
