tyler79+Followscent control products are a total scam!Unpopular opinion: the hunting industry convinced us we need $300 worth of scent eliminators when wind direction and basic hygiene work just fine. Grandpa never used any of this stuff and still outshot us all. Change my mind. #hunting #deerhunting #scentcontrol #huntinggear16210Share
bushjill+FollowScent control products are a waste of moneyWatched those YouTube tests with retired police dogs - even with every spray and ozone machine, they still smelled the hunters every time. Animals don't care about your $50 bottles. Stick to basics: unscented soap, air-dry clothes outside, skip deodorant, and obsess over wind direction. That's it. Saved myself hundreds on gimmicky sprays and focused on what actually matters - playing the wind perfectly. Products don't make you a better hunter, fundamentals do. #hunting #scentcontrol #deerhunting #outdoors127Share
Eric Ford+FollowI stopped half-assing scent control. Here’s whyHad an old timer tell me something that changed my whole scent game: “Go scent-free or don’t bother.” He's right. I used to half-ass scent control - wash some clothes, skip the boots, spray down but forget my pack. Then wonder why that buck still winded me at 60 yards. Now it's either full commitment (scent-free soap, clothes, boots, gear - everything) or I just hunt the wind and forget the sprays entirely. Half measures just waste money and give false confidence. Deer don't care if you're 90% scent-free. #hunting #HuntingTips #ScentControl #Outdoors 86Share
paulcarol+FollowBeating a deer’s nose—does scent control help?Real talk - they're tie breakers at best. I've had success with ozone, but if the wind's wrong, you're getting busted regardless. Especially early season when you're sweating buckets. That said, sometimes buying yourself 3-5 seconds of deer confusion is all you need for the shot. Worth it for that alone. Bottom line: every serious hunter hunts specific stands for specific winds, because wind direction trumps every spray and gadget. You'd need surgeon-level scent control to completely fool a deer's nose. #hunting #scentcontrol #huntingtips #deerhunting2221Share
