Just curious, it can't hurt, but I doubt Boyd Iverson ever used it!

Wind discipline is the only scent control that really works.

grundy-I agree with you but a little extra precaution with scent control for any swirling winds might confuse the animal long enough to give me a few extra seconds in the timber.

I always try to use the wind to my advantage but i also wear the clothes wash with the soap and spray down.

i use Scent Lok and scent killer spray... all the time, plus i go by the wind.  Always helps out.  Any little bit helps... but like everyone else said... the Wind plays a huge part... i even chew scent eliminating gum

I don't bother with it riffle hunting, I do shower w/hunter soap. Now archery hunting I'm a believer. They will always smell you down wind but the sent is so faint they think you are farther away then you are, they don't seem to spook as bacd when they do smell you, most will just walk off. I had a doe w/a fawn walk by by tree, then walk down wind. She stopped looked back and walked right to my tree all the while looking pass my tree back into the woods. The trail she wanted to take was right down wind. She did this 3 times, back to the base of my tree. Then went down the trail and didn't blow. I use hunter body wash, sent killer spray, X-SENT under close and X-SENT Camo. Makes it hot when it's hot out, but I bag all my clothes after I air dry them, I go into my stand w/just shorts on and sandals, lay them out on the ground close to my tree, spray them down and walk a ways away w/my boots. I put all my stuff far way from my stand put my X-SENT socks on Spray my boots and walk back to my stand in my underwear and dress at my stand and get in. I don't get to sweaty this way.

I can't believe people still by any of the "odor eliminating" products, especially after Scent Lock lost their lawsuit, and were found guilty of false advertising.

“Expert witnesses proved that the product simply cannot work as it is advertised, and the judge agreed. Obviously, we’re very pleased with this outcome.”

Below is a picture of Scent Loc charcoal impregnated fabric. You can clearly see there is not enough charcoal in there to  change a fart, let alone someone hiking or hunting for days.

I wash my clothes in non scent detergent. (not any advertised hunting nonscent products). I no they can still smell me if wind is wrong, but at least I dont smell like Dawney. After an hour of sweating I don't think any thing works.

[CoryTDF]

My attitude about is that it doesn't work but it cant hurt. I use the body soap and made my own laundry soap but as far as "ELIMINATING" the scent.......... Bogus! Get the wind. Get the animal!

[CAMPMEAT]

My fav is the Ozinator you haul around with you and put it next to your treestand........

[Clancy]

I break and twist up some fir branches and rub them on me every so often. Makes me smell like a tree

Thats what I have been taught as well.

Tree like cedar works great... Rub cedar branches on your arms , legs and all over

use the wind and you can seek up on anything scent wise. One molecule of human scent will give you away, no product out there can cover you completely, not possible!
