[Tioga]

Found this on TG a few months ago.

16oz of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide
16oz of distilled water
1/4 cup baking soda
1oz. unscented liquid soap.
Mix all ingredients (except soap) in a one gallon plastic jug and shake vigorously. Once it has all settled then add the soap slowly mixing to avoid too much sudsing.

The wind in your face!

Boil pine needles in a pot,let it reduce then strain through a coffee filter and you smell like pine.you can also use any other vegetation its all about what your area has.

A guy told me about Vanilla Extract and water. Put it in a spray bottle and douse yourself. His family has been doing it for years with great success. Who woulda' thunk it?

[lpcjon2]

I depends on the type of deer they hunt are they use to people? When was the last time you smelled vanilla while hunting? It may attract bee's, don't know after the rut try it out.

The recipe above is one for a scent KILLER/REDUCER which works very well. Any attempt to cover the human order is simply a wasted effort. Deer detect many orders at the same time and process them. Add pine/earth/fox/vanilla/etc to your order and the deer smell that as well as you - it covers nothing.

[lpcjon2]

I believe that you are right and you can not completely cover all of your human scent,but the cover scent of something natural to the area may not make them as weary.

This year made a gallon of the stuff just like tioga describes. But i used small amount of earth scent soap in it. Working like a charm.. I read somewhere where a scientist hunter examined all brands.  this homemade formula out performed. Used Cover up from Russell Hull for years it was a vanilla base scent. And killed a few deer really close using it. Some might not agree with me on this, but i think a small amount of vanilla confuses the animals noses by over riding other smells. I've called in coyotes really close using it.. but again that was what worked for me. Others may disagree... whats your thoughts.

TTT. I usually make some every year, seems to help. Thought I would bring it to the top for any one interested.

This works for me on my rubber boots, and have been taking chlorophyll  gelcaps ever since Charlie Lamb had a yote walk up and lay down under his stand.He was taking them.

That made me listen up, yotes can sniff out bout anything.

Native American hunters used smoke for hundreds of years before the white man was even here. I will use this if I am hunting in an area where woodburning stoves or campfires are a common scent.  But I usually just rub some local vegitation all over me before entering my hunting area.  I also pick some extras to rub on myself after I get to my spot.

Be careful of the peroxide, it will white out clothing.
Lightens your hair, lightens you clothes
Im trying the smoke thing soon.

I had a neighbor stop by last night, said he shot a does at 5 and wanted to know if he could look for it behind my house.
He was a chain smoker and I felt like the 40 minutes we talked I contracted 3rd hand cancer.
I came in and laughed and commented  to my wife that I shower, used scent free deodorant, keep my clothes in a bag and I still get busted .

Use the wind and save your money . Cover scents can smell foreign and cause a problem as well .

[NIGEL01]

I boil acorns and apples, strain and put it in a squirt bottle.

[Charlie Lamb]

Those who ignore attempting to reduce scent signature and chant "just hunt the wind" are overlooking an element of hunting that can have profound impact on deer hunting success.

Made a difference for me just last night.  

[MCNSC]

Charlie, I agree completely. Nothing is going to completely cover your scent. If a deer is down wind and doesn't smell you, your scent stream is somewhere else. That being said, you can reduce the amount of scent especially that left by your boots, hands and clothes while entering and exiting your hunting area. This year I have been a little lazy with scent control, it has already hurt me several times this year. I seem to see a difference in the amount of scare a deer has than in the past where they may act nervous and leave or act confused, this year they blow out of the area.  My .02
