Gloves/scent controll for hands.

[spk131]

I was just wondering i have always had trouble find scent control for my hands and yet still keep my hands warm. any tips for having both warmth and scent control for my hands would be appreciated.

From the tips I got from here, this is what I did. I grabbed everything I'll need to wear in bow season, washed them w/ a scent eliminator detergent, then hung them outside. After they dried I sprayed them w/ a scent eliminator plus cover scent and put them in a sealed tote. My boots will be sprayed and put in a bag. This is all stored in my barn. The only thing I didn't do was spray my bow and arrows. Not sure if this should be done or not. I'm not going to try to chew the scent gum but that's an option for breath.

I'm trying out some Cabela's scentlok glove liners that I picked up for around $15 that I wear underneath camo gloves. I've used them under light cotton gloves and also by themselves (they're green) this month during the warm weather and intend to use them under goretex thinsulate gloves once the cold kicks in. So far this works for me.

does it make a difference if you dry them in a dryer compared to hanging them outside. I planned on washing my clothes in scent free detergent then drying them in a dryer. and place my clothes in a plastic bin with some oak branches in them for extra scent then adding on scent killer and cover scent.
besides shrinking some of my clothes which i would check for before i wash them is there any other reason you dont dry them in a dryer.

I always use Scent Killer (Wildlife Reserach). I spray it on my hands and rub it into my neck, face, hair, and anything else that might be left uncovered. This brand of Scent Eliminator is the best that I have used as it is completely odorless out of the bottle. <----<<<

I wear rubber gloves from the moment I step out of the truck till I get back in it. That way I can wear any glove over them and no scent will pass through. I also wear them while washing all of my gear.


Don't forget to use scentfree soap hand wash your back pack, harness, climbing belts, gear rope, bow sling, release, arm guard and any other item which has ever touched your skin.

The answer is YES!!! Think about this...how do your clothes come out of your dryer smell? Do they smell like fabric softner, detergent, or what? IF you do dry your clothes in a dryer...do youself a little favor...run 1 cup of baking soda through a short cycle...then add your clothes and another 1/2 cup of baking soda. THis will absorb most of the scent...by spraying the scent eliminator you are killing most of the smell.

I have never used anything but cloth gloves for hunting sprayed with scent killer. One time I actually had a doe sniffing my ladder. She even stood on her two back legs as she stretched to smell the ladder as far as she could reach. She was more curious than anything. She never did respond as if alarmed and remained in the area for an additional 30 or so minutes.
