Scent Control Bags for storing Hunting clothes
« on: July 06, 2016, 09:24:48 AM »
Hi guys. I was wondering what everyone uses for bags (or whatever) to store or travel with hunting clothes? Also is there something available that I can buy here in the Seattle area somewhere? I'm leaving in about 1 week and taking hunting clothes back to where I hunt so probably don't have time to order and get it in time.  Thanks for your help.

I don't do anything for scent except pay attention to the wind and don't pump gas in my hunting clothes. None of it hides you from an animal's nose

:yeah:
I still wash my clothes twice, once with unscented soap and once with nothing, hang them up to dry, then put them in a paper sack in my garage for 2 or 3 days with vegetation from the area I plan on hunting. But I think it just makes me feel better. There is a Myth Busters I think where they try all kinds of stuff and a dog can still follow the trail. A black bear has a way better nose than a dog. Several guys on here claim success using different urine scents.

So I'm not crazy washing my clothes with plain water while in the woods! I do just so I can stand to be around myself.

My scent control tactics are different depending what and how I am hunting. For treestand whitetail I do a lot more than I do for September elk on the ground.
I agree an animal downwind will smell you regardless of what you do but scent free wash can and does help. For elk in sept I don't do anything, just watch the wind. Whitetail in a stand I wash in scent free and put into rubber tubs with pine limbs and don't put on until I get to where I'm hunting. Also spray down with scent killer at the truck and when I get to stand.

Thanks for the replies. I am wondering what works well for storing the hunting clothes so (s much as possible) they don't pick up a lot of undesirable scents. Plastic bags or tubs? Seems like the plastic smell could be bad too. I travel to hunt and have most of my hunting clothes there waiting for me, but never did really figure out a good storage solution.

Mine just hang in the closet. If I've used air fresheners, lysol etc in the room, I wash them in plain hot water before I go hunting. When I head out hunting, they just go in the back pack.
