I have recently come across a product that will help the hunter protect his/her clothes from unwanted scents. Actually, my wife found the product to store large items such as pillows. One look at it and I quickly snatched up the remaining ones for my hunting gear. I am talking about Hefty One Zip Big Bags. They are 22 gallon zip lock baggies and are great for storing all your hunting gear.
Scent control is important for all types of hunting, but it is critical for success when bowhunting. If you are not careful with controlling your scent then a sudden wind change can spell disaster for your hunt. Also, no matter how well you plan when placing your stand for the prevailing winds, you can't control which direction that big buck chasing a doe will actually come. So once again it comes down to eliminating your human scent.
The Hefty bags are relatively inexpensive (about a buck a piece) so I use one bag for each set of my clothes. I put a shirt, pants, socks, long underwear, or other items, in a bag along with a quick burst of my cover up spray. Squeeze out the air and not only have I protected my clothes from unwanted scents, but I have impregnated them with my cover scent and I don't have to go rummaging around in the morning trying to figure out what to wear. A complete set of clothes are ready for me in the morning.
I store my backpack and accessories in a bag too. It is just as important to keep these items free of human scent too.
So look in the kitchen and maybe you'll get lucky and can steal your wife's Big Bags or just head down to the grocery store and pick up some in which to store your clothes and gear. Protecting and storing your clothes has never been easier.
