You can't eliminate your scent. Even the ground you walk on, the leaves you break give off a scent that can be detected. There was a podcast posted here not too long ago. Guy trained blood hounds and had great info on this type of stuff. I don't remember the parts per unit smell is measured, but humans were like 30 mil, dogs 200mil, deer 300 mil, and beer was 600 mil
I listened to this and stopped buying scent free stuff afterwards. It’s hopeless. Just wash my body with scent free soap now every night when I’m hunting. That’s really just cleaning my arse lol

One of the old guys at the camp told me sprays Amber Romance on his boots and at the base of the tree. I’ve never heard of that before
Sounds like the old guy at one of our old camps that told everyone that deer loved honeysuckle and commenced to spraying each one down with honeysuckle potpourri as they walked out the door. I think every deer within 10 miles of Port Gibson was blowing that morning.

Smoke some weed in the stand and the deer will come. They love that smell
I used to have a book called something like Uncle John's Giant Bathroom Reader that was filled with weird/random/useless facts. Every page also had something random on the very bottom, one of those facts was "Given the opportunity deer will chew apples and marijuana"

I've had luck with that a few times; I think it gives you the patience to stay out there longer and keep trying til they start biting.
I quit scent products and just try to hunt with the wind in my face.

Or quit caring if they don’t.

Deer not only have the ability to smell you, they know approximately how close you are. That’s the part that blows my mind about them.

I would have to disagree with you on that one.

Funny this thread in on here. I'm on vacation for the next 2 weeks. I had my wife wash all my hunting clothes in non scented detergent and gave her a pack of earth scented dryer sheet. She was supposed to put them in plastic crates and throw in a couple of those dryer sheets. Well she screwed that all up she dried them with the strong arse perfumed sheets and threw one in the container. I've already had 2 deer blow at me this morning. FML
