5 Hunting Tools You’re Probably Forgetting to De-Scent

It is key for hunters to understand the importance of scent control when they are hunting. Most hunters do a good job at de-scenting themselves and their clothes, but many overlook their gear. Here are five hunting tools you are probably forgetting to de-scent.

  1. Pack. Your backpack or waist pack gets handled a lot and can accumulate a lot of sweat. Pay close attention to the straps and other parts of your pack that may touch your body.

  2. Gun or Crossbow Sling. A cloth gun or crossbow sling can absorb quite a bit of your sweat and stench. 

  3. Hat. Your hat or headgear accumulates tons of sweat. Make sure to wash and de-stench all your headgear.

  4. Shoes. Spray down your hunting shoes, especially the soles and laces that collect the most scent. 

  5. Gun/Bow Case. Some jurisdictions require your gun or bow to be carried in a case. Be sure to de-scent your case before taking it out.

Scent plays a big role in the success of your hunt. After your stench-free hunt, take your game to Knight’s Taxidermy to save your trophy.
