[QUOTE="undeg01, post: 3179870, member: 26476"] I start with scent eliminating laundry detergent. Dry my clothes with fresh earth dryer sheets. Clothes go into a sealed plastic bag with a new fresh earth dryer sheet. My hunting boots never go to town or touch pavement, and are left on the back porch all season. I occasionally spray them with Dead Down Wind, both inside and out. I shower and wash my hair with scent eliminating bath soap before going to bed the night before. For archery, I do have some scent lock leafy wear coveralls, but I seldom wear them for rifle season. With all of that, I am still attentive to the wind direction. I often have deer within 10-15 yds but just this week, I had my closest encounter. I was climbing down my stand to leave after dark and a little 6 pt appeared at a scrape 10 yds away. I froze on my ladder, 4 ft off the ground. He freshened his scrape and started walking my direction. When he got to the base of my ladder, he stopped. I thought, “this is it.” He looked around, then looked at the ladder and slowly stuck his nose to my boot. He looked back down the field edge and slowly made his way off. He never alerted or spooked. So, I guess my scent eliminating regimen works. [/QUOTE]
