    Just left Walmart about 30 minutes ago with a sack full of Realtree Xtra Green with scent control clothing and I am like a kid at christmas. Soon as I got in the door I started trying it on, I had to stop myself from putting on the facepaint lol.

    Lol that's what I said when I was first standing there looking at it....then it kind of went from a question to a very excited "WALMART SELLS SCENT CONTROL CLOTHING!!!!!". They have just now started putting out the camo clothing for hunting simply because its about a month away, but I think it is the first year that they have carried anything that is scent control and compared to Scent-Blocker and Scentlok it is EXTREMELY cheap.

    I tend to think it helps some but playing winds etc is more important

    oh i'm so jealous.. :)

    this will be my first year bow hunting.. my husband thinks i'm gonna chicken out or freeze IF we see a buck.. this weekend we are setting up our new two man tree stand.. in the backyard.. so I can practice shooting from it before setting it up in the woods.. I've only been shooting at targets and just recently at a foam deer and all from a standing position at the same level..

    anyway.. I digress.. I can hardly wait to go camo shopping!!! :)

    :)

    I believe that as well. I don't own an ounce of scent control clothing but clean clothes , hair and body and the before I step into the woods spray down seems to work just as well.

    Welcome to the addiction and many lost hours of sleep that is whitetail hunting carol. I was my clothes with scent killer gold and I take showers with the scent killer products so I know I'm scent free and I spray down before I go into the woods and I also play the wind. But I like to have every advantage possible, especially when it doesn't cost a couple hundred dollars each article of clothing. Which is why I picked up the scent control stuff at Walmart even though I know a lot of our more grizzled members may not believe in it but to each his own.
