    I read that same article, it was pretty enlightening. Thanks for all the input. I did take the approach of washing everythingi would take into
    The woods in baking soda including what I was going to wear on the ride in. On the way to my stand I would stop and run myself down completely with pine needles and dirt. I'll try letting my stuff sit in a bag with needles and dirt though this fall. Thanks again!

    For the first time ever this season, I saw a guy purchase "skunk" scent from the local archery store. He said he puts one or two drops out in the area he is hunting it covers the human scent? I wonder how that worked for the guy.

    Ask hi wife about skunk scent ! As I hunt in big north woods mostly I always rub pine needles and small branches on my clothes every time I enter the woods, I also religiously use baking powder also , I do also make it a point to step in deer crap as much as possible, these work and are cheap
