Quick Answer
For effective scent control in bear hunting, products like Scent Killer and Scent Eliminator work well to break down and neutralize human odor. These products contain enzymes that break down organic molecules in sweat and other bodily secretions, making it difficult for bears to detect human scent. Their use can significantly increase the odds of a successful hunt.
Choosing the Right Scent Control Product
When it comes to selecting a scent control product for bear hunting, it’s essential to consider the type of activity you’ll be engaging in. If you’ll be hunting in dense cover or near a food source, a product with a strong scent-neutralizing ability, such as Scent Killer, may be the best choice. For longer hunts or in areas with heavy vegetation, a product like Scent Eliminator, which breaks down and eliminates sweat and body oils, may be more effective.
Proper Use and Application Techniques
Using a scent control product effectively requires attention to detail and proper application techniques. When washing gear and clothing, use a product like Scent Killer to neutralize human odor, and then re-wash the items in clean water. For skin and hair, apply a small amount of Scent Eliminator and wait for 15-30 minutes before rinsing. This allows the product to break down and eliminate human scent. Additionally, use Scent Eliminator on your hands and face after handling food or gear, and reapply as needed.
