[QUOTE="KoolBreeze, post: 2388228, member: 95329"] I use the laundry detergent made for hunting clothes currently. I've tried several but am currently using Elimisheild. It seems to have less odor than the last one I tried, Atsko. In the past I've used Free & Clear, which seemed to work just as well. I don't use anything with UV brightners, not sure how much that matters though. I dry my clothes on a line next to the woods behind my house. If it's too cold for that, then they go in the dryer and come out immediately when dry. During season, the clothing I'm actively using stays in a PVC duffle bag in the seat of my pickup, along with my boots and backpack which are in unscented trash bags. In the off season, I store them in a large tote that has a sealed lid. I also use scent spray on my pack and boots most every time I go in the woods. Does all the above make any difference? Honestly, I can't tell that it has. I had a doe, with her nose to the ground, stop dead in her tracks a week or so ago when she crossed my trail that I walked in on. It was out in the open, just leaves, I had on rubber boots and had sprayed them with the scent spray before I walked in. No doubt it didn't work on her. Then a few days later I had 3 does walk right underneath my climber after I'd spent a lot of time clearing limbs and such from under it and probably had my scent everywhere. So who knows. [/QUOTE]
