6 Scent Elimination Products Every Hunter Must Have

Hunting season is so close you can smell it in the air. No, wait, that’s just the funk of your hunting clothes from last season. Pee-ew!

What measures of scent control do you take leading up to a hunt? Do you toss your camo in the wash before every hunt? Brush your teeth with scent eliminating tooth paste? (yes that’s a real thing) Most hunters, myself included, believe in taking a good scent-free shower before a hunt to knock out the human odor in their hair and on their skin. I’ll usually slap on some scent eliminating antiperspirant for good measure, as well.

But it doesn’t stop there.

Nowadays, there are so many scent elimination products available on the market, you’d be foolish not to practice proper scent control. And since us deer hunters are always looking for an extra edge, let’s take a look at six scent elimination products you should have on hand before the season kicks off:
