    For me, we have been close friends for many years...he adds confidence to my life and I miss him at the end of every hunting season.

    Yep... I use that very product, but I don't care for what it does for my hair, I do miss my regular shampoo this time of year...

    Uhhh... I just re-read what I wrote, here's my man card....

    Depends............. If I have time to shower before heading out I do use it. Most of the time I use the natural scent killer being the wind.

    Wash up before every hunt, along with liberal dosing of a scent killer, though I use Dead Down Wind for all my odor killing needs.......

    Thankyou, sir. No sack punch required for handing it over without a fight, lol.

    Yep I use the same stuff. It really does a number on my scalp. Probably the only thing I like about hunting being over is being able to take a normal shower again.

    I use the same soap, but only before I bow hunt. I don't worry about scent as much when I gun hunt. I figure the gun and ammo scent is going to far outway anything else I do.

    I used to use that, but I started using Ivory soap and haven't seen a difference in deer winding me. It doesn't dry out my skin/hair like the HS soap did. You guys that are talking about regular showers, do you use scentfree soap/shampoo even on days that you aren't hunting?

    Does it help? Sure does even if it's only mental. :cool:

    IF I happen to shower before a hunt I use DDW shower products. I have no interest (and time usually) to shower before every hunt.
