Put pineneedles in one of my bins after the season but it got some growth on it. Mold or somethin. Was wonderin if throwin in some dirt would be a good scent neutralizer.

Probably will stick with black garbage bags instead of the bins.. the bins made everything too plastic smelling

Yep. Hang it all in my closet and then just wash with basking soda before a hunting trip.

Hang in closet at camp and maybe or maybe not wash it before I use it.

I used to go thru all the crud of being scent free then said screw it and kill just as many if not more deer now.

Sure I’ve boogered a few deer that may have winded me but I’m good with my families results last few years.

During the season I will put my most used items in a ice chest with fresh pine branch. Not during the season just in the closet.

Just pack them normal.
Then before you wear them again, hang them outside for about a day. All of the scent will be gone.
It’s the they’ve been zapped in an O-Zone bag

A wise man, who knows 10,000x more about deer hunting than I'll ever know, once said "It's not your clothes they are smelling, it's YOU".

Spray with scent blocker and toss into a bin with lid.

Ive just accepted over time that if the wind is wrong you are cooked.

All the spray and ozone and bagging clothes can help but the results are limited.

exhaust from a 4 wheeler, deisel on the concrete at the gas station, body spray from the buckle bunny sweating all over you last night, cigarette smoke from paw paw at the sign in shed, or the armor-all you sprayed on your leather seats. All neon signs to a deer if the wind is wrong.

It’s impossible to cover your scent to keep deer from smelling you.
It’s been proven with dogs many times.
Deer have superior scenting ability than most dogs.

Wash without soap. Dry and store in a bed comforter vacuum bag from walmart.

My wife washes my hunting clothes in the same scent free hippy organic shite she washes all the other clothes in. At the end of the season, they go in a couple of drawers in my closet. Deer haven’t ever complained.

I put them back in the same rubbermaid container I use to bring up to the camp, with some 15 or 20 year old cedar blocks, that are probably useless for moths, and definitely useless as a cover

All my camo goes into a zip up fabric storage thing (not sure what I’d call the shaped, an elongated rectangle I guess) during the off season with some a silica packet.

Old lady washes my shite with a scent less detergent. Don’t mess around really with worrying about ‘scent’. I’ll rip a doobie or a cig in the stand sometimes before the sun comes up. Doesn’t seem to affect things on my end.
