Poll: reuse last year's scents?

[Bean Counter]

I have some Elk Fire that I've had frozen. I just did a test spray and it smells 'fresh' enough to me.

It has worked great for me previously--an elk once had me winded but between scent control and having this stuff sprayed all over my clothes, it let me crawl right up to him.

Dude. You sprayed elk fire on your clothes?

I put mine back in the elk

I put mine back in the elk

HAHAHAHA! Do you "blow" it back in. 

[DoubleJ]

Squirt it back in with a syringe.  Keeps it fresh all year that way

They're my HUNTING clothes

I've done that before. Sure is hard to get that smell out.  In fact heres a little story. After spraying my pants with elk urine, getting soaked by rain, I returned to my basecamp, which was at a nice gentleman's house that let us park a trailer in his yard. He seen how wet we were and said to get out of those wet clothes and go through them in my dryer. Without thinking about it, and I'd probably became immune to the smell, I put them in his dryer.    Next load of clothes he dried smelled like elk piss bad. He wasn't real happy. I cant say I got an invite back?

A lot of these scents are fixed in a liquid silicone base, thats why they last so long. Extremely difficult to remove, or impossible.

   You didn't even wash them first? Even without urine sprayed on them, I wouldn't put dirty hunting clothes through a dryer.
