Early season heat makes staying scent-free a real challenge. I've tried sprays, scent-free detergents, and even careful wind setups. bu still, deers always seem sharp. What tricks or routines do you swear by to keep your scent under control?
 
I stick to scent-free soaps, cover clothes in scent-eliminating sprays, and always hunt with the wind in my favor, layering and quick changes help keep my scent minimal
 
Honestly, no magic spray beats strict wind discipline. I shower with unscented soap, wash gear separately, and store clothes outside. But if the wind's wrong, deer win every time, scent control only helps so much

I try similar stuff, but even with all that, early season heat still seems to give deer my scent every damn time

Yeah, wind is everything. All the soaps and sprays help, but a single wrong gust and deer pick you up instantly, no matter what
