I always wash everything in the non-scent soap stuff, but when I put it in the trash bags I throw a bunch of leaves in. I usually leave all my bags out in the garage until opening morning, but then I put the bags in the house the night before so it's not freezing and I put everything in the dryer for a quick shot of heat before I leave.

When I return home from hunting with a muzzleloader I never bring it in the house to draw moisture. I leave it hanging in my locked detached garage with no cap on the nipple. After finishing hunting for the weekend, I dischage the rifle, clean it and put it away. I have never had one fail to go off.

Never believe the guys who tell you that you have to drink the doe-in-heat to eliminate any human scent.

They're lyin'.

Always obey the wind.

If your hunting using a blind in a windy area don't forget to stake it down. I learned that yesterday.

Especially in Archery, instead of crouching low to stalk, get down on all fours and hug the brush. The deer don't recognize you as a 'verticle' human threat.

And ALWAYS avoid eye contact with the hunted. Make eye contact and they spook.

Then, take your clothes out of the wash, put them in trash bags with Baking Soda. This keeps the oders out - and I always find the deer stopping to lick everything my clothes brushed up against when they cross my trail.

I am assuming you pour some over the clothes, as the corner of the box could puncture the bag. Is this correct.

Yes, I dump it out over the clothes. Then I close up the bag and give it a good shake to distribute it all over the clothes.
