Bud you're looking at too many TV Hunting shows . By the time I get to my stand in this heat , I smell like a Skunkape , no offense to our own forum member . Hunt high especially if the wind is wrong in your setup and hunt with the wind in your favor . The only thing I do is change clothes after the morning hunt , Oh yeah all my clothes get washed with Gain or whatever detergent my wife buys . Spring scent is the one I like , smells good . Good Luck

None taken,it's a proven fact you cannot kill a deer without wearing scent blocker clothes. The more money you spend,the more deer you will kill. I also wear scent block depends. When I gotta go, I just let it go.
After assimilating and absorbing all this knowledge, I am going to have spray my leotards and tutu. can't be caught in the woods without the appropriate smells and dress.
C. you keep saying I don't kill anything. down here it's fairly true. the first 7 years here I was too busy with work and jobs around the new house and didn't hunt at all. but I don't take pics and post stories of all the game I do take. I got nothing to prove to anybody. I hate the heat so only realy hunt from october to april, mornings only until 10 am or so when it warms up, and no deer. in the 2 1/2 -3 yrs I've gotten 1 pig, 3-4 yotes, 5 turkey, a bunch of doves,squirrels and some nussiance armadillo per landowners request. from 1975 to 2003 I killed a lot more game. too many grouse,rabbit squirrel,turkey,pheasant, quail,duck goose,and deer to remember. and passed on more deer than I shot. all have been under 100 yds, 95% under 40 yds. the # of kills don't mean jack squat to me. it's easy to rack up some big #'s when you have a place that has dozens of hogs coming in to a feeder am and pm. shooting fish in a barrel doesn't impress me. it's not a competition for me. you have been hunting all of what 5 years now? I guess I just don't have the blood lust some other members do. I won't take more than I can use or take long shots and bad angles, shoot at moving animals or if they are in a hard spot to get them out of. call me lazy,non motivated, whatever but given the few hours I put in and the places I have access to that are not overun with game I'm not complaining so don't let it bother you.
I wash my clothes with regular detergent and usually spray on some scent killer if I remember. I think being up high if you are stand hunting helps, and playing the wind if you aren't. With all my other responsibilities I can't afford to spend the big bucks on expensive hunting clothes. I usually just wear some shorts, a camo shirt and a screen suit. Good luck out there, don't over think it.
