Wind in your face is definitely the best answer however I have tried a few odd things to cover my scent over the years.

I once ate raw Garlic everyday before and on a 7 day Elk hunt. I’m still not sure of the results but I can tell you that no one wanted to be any where near me which made for a great solitary hunt even though I was camping with 3 other guys.

I also tried an old Indian method of not eating meat for a month before the hunt. The theory is that when you eat meat your body gives off the scent of a Predator and when you don’t your body gives off the scent of a none threatening plant eater. I’m not sure of the results of that experiment either. I will tell you that it made me want to harvest an animal fast so that I could eat some meat. Maybe that is the intended idea:lol:

I use chloro fresh. Kinda goes along this line.

I start using it about a month before the season starts and use it all season long. Does it work? Not sure yet still trying to get close enough to ask…..:shock::lol::roll:
