I just started using this stuff this year and I think it stinks. Plus it stinks. I just got busted on a farm I hunt near Gracedale. I was downwind about 40 yds I think, and the deer was in thick brush so I'm thinking it smelled me. I never used this stuff before. I got it because I got a new pair of rubber boots from Cabella's that smell like a tire store. I tried Fox urine on them but it didn't cover the rubber smell, hence the scent eliminator idea. I'm so pissed that I thought about just shooting targets instead of deer. Targets don't care what you smell like, do they? I just thought some one might have tried this crap with the same results I'm getting. If it works for you then, maybee targets are my forte and not deer. I just started hunting again this year after 20 or so off. I'm being pretty good about not moving around alot. I think this stuff is wrecking my hunts. I have to blame something.

I have a bottle of the earth blend also, and I think it smells pretty strong. I haven't noticed a problem with using it, but I don't use it often because of the smell. I believe in using silver as a scent killer. I have clothing that has silver in it, and it definitely has proven itself. Countless times, I have worn that while sweating in the early season, and not been busted by does that were downwind.
I usually use Scent Away with the earth scent. It smells like dirt to me.
I also use breath spray. I figure, I can't smell my buddies when I talk to them, but sometimes I can smell their breath. If we can smell each others breath, imagine how strong that must be for a deer. That might be more important than body spray, if your camo is clean.
Now, I'm not questioning your hygene, these are just my thoughts.

Thanks Port. I'll ramp up my process a little bit and see how that works. I washed my camo in baking soda and dried them in the dryer without any scent. I have a Scent Blocker jacket that is supposed to be activated by heat. So now that's done. I probably will still use felt wicks and doe in heat, but I think I'll quit the eartyh blend and fox pee. I went over to Miller's farm tonite to look around. Found a fresh scrape on the edge of that upper left field, but not anything real hot yet. The wind favors the deer in that corner. I'm going to give the AM a try on Wed and see what shows. I did see a dozen turkeys near that roof stand you were in, which was pretty cool! How bout you, any luck? ED

No bucks for me yet. Rattled in a nice eight the other morning. He was young and sporting nice g2s, but only about twelve or thirteen inside. The kind you want to see grow up a little. I saw a bomber at the house yesterday evening, but things didn't work for a sneak.
I'm still at it hard, though.

I saw the first buck this morning. One horn why buck with no brow tine. 25yds broadside, release clipped on, waved him off. He sure was a friendly little bugger though. It's gonna rain tommorow but I think I'll head out to see whats movin. Gotta be in the stand to get shooting. Ron missed a nice 6 in the creek bottom with his crossbow. He had the limb against the tree when he fired it. Shot went left about 2 feet but didn't spook the deer, so maybee next time for both of them. One can only hope.ED
