does any on do this and does it work? i was reading about people making it with hydrogen peroxide, water, unscented laundry soap, and baking soda. do you think it would work as good as superchaged scent killer?
I'm sure there are secret ingredients to make homemade sprays, it would definantly be cheaper, but I've always used scent away field products, have had deer right bye me downwind of me and never new I was there. keep researching there are probably multiple ways you can make your own sprays.
I researched some of those "at home brews" and for the most part,by the time you pay for all the home ingredients,you have,for most of them, spent more than if you went to wad-mart and got a bottle of "name brand X" and used it..IMO! Not that "do it yourself" isn't fun or rewarding but just not cost / time effective!
The homemade stuff which probably works just as good but leaves a white film on your bow and accessories. I dont like that. Unless there is a recipe that's different from the most popular ones out there.
This article will answer all your questions. Straight from the experts. http://www.deeranddeerhunting.com/article/the-best-way-to-inhibit-your-scent/ I personally use a homemade brew on myself and use a store bought one for my bow and other things due to the white film. I wash my clothes anyway so why not?
I would echo what most have already said. Probably not saving enough money to make it worth the hassle, and the white powdery film is really annoying.
Great article! I always wondered how the different brands held up to one another. Looks like scent-a-way does the best.
Well a box of baking soda cost $1. A 32 oz bottle of peroxide cost about $2 and a gallon of distilled water cost about $2. For each batch I use half a box of soda, 64 oz of peroxide, and 64 oz of the water. That works out to $7 for a whole gallon plus you have enough water and soda for another batch. Add $4 for more peroxide and you have 2 gallons for $11. Try to find store stuff for that price. And it woks extremely well to boot.
I disagree that it doesn't make economic sense. It saves me a bunch of money as the ingredients are very cheap. I'll say it again, I don't use it for my bow and equipment but just for my boots, clothes, etc that I wash regularly anyway.
While I will concede that it will cost less to produce on your own, my statement was that I didn't think that the $$ saved is worth the hassle. I tried it and just didn't care for the result that much.
