You people use wafers?

I've made myself a little Scent box for my Hunting clothing, Considering a natural pine scent wafer... You guys put wafers in your clothing bags, tubs, bow case, etc?

 

I don't use cover scents...just because I think all it does is take Human scent, and make it Human Scent + Chemically "Natural" scent.

My friend uses and loves them though...forgot the scent of the ones he swears by.

 

I put the earth scent wafers in my clothing tote as well as wearing them everytime I hunt. I believe they help.

 

I used to use natural earth wafers. I got away from that basically for the reason Trevor mentioned above.

 

Yeh, Im not taking them out with me, just to "store" my clothing, Not as a cover, I'll still spray down before entering the woods...

 

I will share something with you that I have done for years. I'm not much of an early season hunter unless it gets unseasonably cold. With that being said, every year I pick up a quart bag of persimmons. I put them in the bag and smash them all up and then I open the bag and put that in my tote. Within a week everything in that tote wreaks of persimmons. Best cover scent I have used.

 

I like that, would also work well with apples, pears, etc I assume?

 

I'm sure it would. I've just never tried any other type of fruit. I like to keep that bag in there until its good and ferminted. Once it gets real bad I will repeat the process with a new bag, but by then its late November and most of all the persimmons on the ground are rotten anyways.

 

cover scent heck! that's an attractant scent! lol

If your ultimate goal in the end is to spray down and be scent free, perhaps try storing with baking soda. It absorbs odors instead of masking them. Again, this only if you want to spray down and be scent free in the end anyway. If you use and believe in cover scents, which might very well work, then storing your clothes in a cover scent would work wonders!

 

I guess you could say that.

I just don't believe in any way humanly possible we can be 100% scent free. So, I try to mask the scent that I can't control. This has been the best way I've ever found.

 

Sounds like a great yellow jacket attractant. :p

 

Lol!! Maybe one of the reasons I don't hunt early season.:D

 

Those wafer things are the most non natural smelling thing I've ever smelled. I try to smell like nothing rather than a manufactured "earth" smell. I just can't believe a deers nose wouldn't detect something smelling different with the wafers. JMO though

 

I love the fresh earth wafers!

 

yep i stick a few of em in my hunting totes, but i dont wear em' on my clothes in the field... always worried they are gonna flop over or ting/nick against my stand, the tree or anything else that can cause unwanted noise.

 

I only use them in the tote I store my clothes in. I did have 1 on my hat when I killed my largest buck (first morning I ever used them too), but I felt that the odor was to strong when fresh and out of the package out in the woods.

I use the Earth scent wafers.

 

I used to use them and loved them a few years ago.... sometime around that time frame though something changed in the manufacturing process along the way, or else I got hold of a few bad packages because I bought a couple that had a VERY distinct chemical smell along with the fresh-earth scent. Haven't used them since.

 

I have a couple hanging in my hunting truck all season long.

 

I have 3 walnut trees in my yard. Pain in the butt to pick up all of them every year but I use them as a cover scent. When the outer shell is green they have a very strong odor. I think they work great
