    Thought I would throw this out there for debate. Last year after several season I became frustrated with the lack of effectiveness in the Deodorant's that are sold under hunting brands which contain no scent.

    On a whim I picked up some Speedstick Unscented and it worked better than the Primos and Hunters Specialties stuff and cost about half as much. What is everyone else using and has anyone else found the hunting branded stuff to not be up to snuff?

    Speedstick unscented or Arm &Hammer unscented, depends on what the wife picks up for me. The HS deodorant was a joke, and it smelled like Play Dough to me.

    I have always used scent killer deoderant and never noticed any problems with it, although I have also never tried the other ones you mentioned. I might have to once my stick runs out.

    I agree with the Play Dough verdict... I'll be trying Arm & Hammer in the early season.

    Mitchum unscented roll-on, best I've found. Speedstick, Scent-Away, Hunters' Specialty, etc, not even close, and its protection lasts ALL DAY (24hours), and these little roll-ons bottles or whatever they are last damned near 6 months. Try Mitchum Roll-on, you'll thank me later. :tu:

    Not quite.... I owe you a phone call though Josh, probably tomorrow (today) afternoon.....

    Seriously, though, Mitchum is the best I've found and I've been using it daily for a couple years now..... (Except on "date nights." :D )

    I use this and I love it. No scent and it actually prevents B.O. $4.99 for a stick.

    This is also what I use. I have used it for years and I have never had any issues with it.

    I have used this one as well and it doesn't quite cut the mustard. Guess us larger guys sweat a little more;)

    I've been using Mitchum unscented gel for the past three years and I love it.

    If your favorite vegetable is a corn dog - you're a Mitchum Man. :rock:

    Mt Sterling has the best damn corn dog's period! Maybe it will be Mitchum now that I know the link to Corn Dogs!

    My Grandma said the deer always eat her flowers. Then, they banned baiting in my area. So I switched to this...the deer come running in. Its not even fair.

    RaceWay I am glad you asked this!

    I picked up some Arm & Hammer a couple weeks ago, and I HATE it! It is no different to me then the HS Scents Junk!

    I will be looking into this Mitchums if I can find it anywhere?

    Thanks Guys!
