Quick Answer
Effective scent control products for late-season hunts include ScentBlocker's ScentLock or Odor Eliminator, which can neutralize human scent for up to 8 hours. Additionally, using Scent-A-Way and their spray or wipe products can help reduce human odor. These products are specifically designed for big woods, late-season archery deer hunting.
Choosing the Right Scent Control Products
When selecting scent control products, consider the terrain and weather conditions of your hunt. In Vermont’s big woods, wet and humid environments can reduce the effectiveness of scent control products. Look for products that are specifically designed to work in these conditions, such as ScentBlocker’s ScentLock, which can neutralize human scent for up to 8 hours. When applying scent control products, remember to focus on areas where human scent tends to accumulate, such as the hands, face, and gear.
Application Techniques
To get the most out of scent control products, apply them correctly. Use a generous amount of product on your hands, face, and gear, making sure to cover all areas thoroughly. Allow the product to dry completely before touching any surfaces or equipment. Additionally, consider using a scent-killing laundry detergent, such as Scent-A-Way, to wash your hunting gear and clothing. This can help eliminate human scent from your gear and prevent re-contamination. When reapplying scent control products, make sure to use a new, clean cloth or applicator to avoid re-depositing human scent onto your gear.
