Scent Control - new question - glove treatment
« on: November 03, 2014, 10:03:00 AM »
I know some don't worry about it - that's cool.  This is for those that go that extra mile.  I have a question for you scent control folks - what/how do you treat your gloves?  My two leather shooting gloves reak.  I spray them down but that only alsts a few hours.  Can/do you wash them?  I am going back to a tab next year but I would like to be able to cut the scent down on my lather gloves.  Any help is appreciated.

Well, I use Montana Pitch Blend on everything leather and I am positive that it doesn't spook deer.

Try a boot powder, moisture is your enemy for boot's & gloves and can actually help some species of odor causing bacteria to grow.

Also do not use a scentkiller/scent away brand that uses antimicrobials as some bacteria such as brevibacteria do not have an odor until they die AKA you kill them.

I don't use a glove when I hunt deer. Unless your shooting a high poundage bow, try just shooting off your fingers. To me, there is no difference in accuracy, and if anything I shoot better with no glove. You won't feel any discomfort anyway when your shooting at a deer!

I actually washed the crap out of this last night in scent killer so we'll see.  I'll try the barehanded but at 57# in cold that's gotta smart  :)
