Welcome to the fire!

Hunt down wind of the area you expect the deer to come from and you should be fine. The earth scent is good too but will not completely cover your scent but it might buy you a few seconds. Shower with unscented soap and use unscented deodorant will help too. Good luck and let us know how you do.

Good Luck, give us a report when you get back.

Same as Arrow Flinger said on the unscented soap (I use ivory) and deordorant. Also wash your clothes with baking soda and hang outside to dry.

I have 2 big airtight tupperware containers to store all of my hunting gear/clothes in. I put in fresh pine needles and/or oak leaves (depending on where I plan to hunt-hardwoods or pines) with the clothes in the containers. I also where knee-high rubber boots which I don't put on until I reach the hunting area to also help to reduce scent. Anything to help to reduce the scent.
