    I don't tuck.
    I get dressed once I hop out of my truck.

    I'm a tucker. Bibs and heavy pants go over my boots though. I also get dressed once I park my truck at the hunting spot. Gets kind of cold stripping down to only your boxers when it's 20 degrees with wind and snow :eek:

    I think I am going to start getting dressed outside before I walk into the woods this year. I can only imagine how much unwanted scent gets on my outer garments setting in my vehicle.

    It's not fun, but I think it definitely helps

    Yeah, like you said I think it will be worth it for sure, because there is all kinds of different smells inside my vehicle lol. I absolutely hate getting winded to so, I am willing to try anything to be as scent free as possible

    Haha, I find changing into your clothes on the first weekend in September when the skeeters and gnats are thick is worse than doing it in 20 degree temps. I definitely get dressed faster when you can hear the buzz in your ear (before the ThermaCell has warmed up)!

    For scent reasons one should tuck, for camouflage reasons one would leave un tucked and over the boots....I'll be honest it depends for me.

    Depends on the pants I'm wearing as far as tucking. When I have on heavy layers, only my second layer gets tucked.

    I also wait until I am at my hunting spot to put on my hunting clothes. Depending on which part of the season it is, but I have pants and a t-shirt (depending on the temps I'll be wearing some form of long underwear) I wear while traveling and put my hunting clothes on over those. I wash those clothes with my hunting clothes and always spray down that layer before I put on my outer layers.

    I have thought about getting a towel to cover the truck seat or just spraying the seat with scent killing spray.

    Yeah, that might be a pretty good idea with the towel. Like I said you have to think how much scent is in your car from everyday driving. Not to mention some cars have those vent clips that smell good, that i am sure contaminate your hunting clothes. I also think though how far is to far trying to be scent free as possible.
