Lotions, potions, and elixirs

[victor3ranger]

I have a buddy that swears by his. From the beginning of season til the end he doesn't wash his hunting clothes but instead he puts them in a closet in his garage with an Amazon purchased ozone machine for 30 mins each time after hunting then allows them to air out until he goes to the next hunt I have no personal experience with them, I use code blue clothing wash to clean my clothing then put outside to air out.

UV light knock's out a bunch. A buddy of mine has one of the ozone machines and takes in the field with him, he swears by it too

When I hunt the south I will put a branch from a pine tree with green needles in my closet to help put a natural scent into my clothes. When I hunt elsewhere I am at the mercy of storing my clothes in my bag and maybe roll around on the ground in the field. Sooner or later I may have to try some of the newer ways to get rid of scent.

As others have said, nothing is going to mask or fool the nose of a mulie or an elk. The best thing you can do is get a wind checker (little bottle with talcum powder) and make sure the wind is coming from the animal to you or at least the wind not from you to the animal.

Smoke a pipe with some nice smelling tobacco for the downwind critters.

The only thing that I have found that even comes close is baking soda.
A non scented bag that you can seal.
Rub it on all over, use it to brush your teeth as well, arm pits, your hair, hat everything.
Keep your clothes in the bag with the baking soda, tie it up and shake. Let them stay in the bag until you get ready to use them.
Take native vegetation and rub it all over your clothes, juniper is a good one if it's in the area, pine needles, sage brush ect
You can also use the dirt in that area if it's got a lot of smell

Or.....just roll in a BIG PILE OF FRESH ELK S#$%...like an old wolf!

The only bugs I worry about in late season are "ticks".

I have used a couple different ozone machines I never thought they worked or didn't work pretty much the same result, but when I had one in my truck for the scent left in the cab of my truck and my dog jumped in the truck, he immediately smelled it so there must be some thing That the animals can smell even with ozone

I tried a friend's Ozonics machine. I knew exactly my scent line with the wind. Deer would step into that scent line and stop, knowing something was up, but would look long through the woods thinking the scent was much farther away than me at 20yds!

In an earlier post I said that I don't see it being good or bad with little results. I agree with what you said it does not get rid of your scent but it does help and I do use ozone for my hunting clothes. It is merely one more step. You can take as a precaution, and every little bit helps. I have three different weight hunting suits and they are all Scentlock just another piece of the puzzle.

If you are really good you can sneak up and hold their tail down so they can't fart

A buddy of mine used to do just that

Very keen. While my ozonics unit keeps white tails and muleys confused, not so elk. Find a source for milkweed pods and carry two in a ziplock bag. Let a few seed puffs fly every now and then. certainly cheap enough and you can watch it for a long distance, especially through binoculars. It will definitely surprise you how much the air swirls around and changes directions.
